High Pitched Whirring Noise

[KirkJames]

As title suggests........ coming from the rear. Could this be the fuel pump/sender unit maybe?
If it is, is it an easy one or a pig?

It's a big wild bore of a pig!!!! Atleast mine was

Does it match the engine revs .... ie .... get higher as the revs go up ?

I don't think so Dan, seems pretty steady and I can't hear it at higher speeds but that might just be the road noise drowning it out!

You should hear the pump prime for a few seconds when you switch the ignition on before you start the engine, turn the radio off beforehand.

I also have a noise like this under accelaration quite apparent when driving at 30 to 40 miles an hour any ideas was thinking gearbox related?

[KirkJames]

Not gearbox noise, it's more like when you hear the fuel pump prime when you switch the ignition on but higher pitched.

I can hear it prime before I turn it over

Don't suppose you've messed about with the speakers recently ?
