My engine used to make just that noise - when accelerating hard alongside the crash barrier with the window down. 4 years 34000 miles it did it for - then I part ex'd it :)
Not an option for me Mikey…I plan to keep the car for a long time. I really like the shape of the R53.

I think I will mention it when it goes in for a service…and ask then to check it out…but if it isn’t something that is doing any damage to the engine etc…I will just leave it.

Thanks for your post!
