I'm getting a whine from under the o/s rear of the car. It's clearly audible above the engine from outside the car or with the driver's door open. It's extremely constant... maybe something electrical? If
I've any luck it'll be entirely normal and harmless! What could it be!?

Yeah that's the only thing I could think of in that area.
Normal? Or worth investigating? Obviously I'll know when it goes...

mine's not making a sound i think.. so when they go noisy doesn't necessarily mean they're on their way out soon?
