What was yours

Have had my fair share of classics, but have slowed down now I have found what I like (so far that is). First car was a 1952 Sunbeam Talbot, 2nd was a Morris 8 convertible after I gave the Sunbeam to Dad. Kept most of the cars at least a year or so to get to know them properly and still have one or ...

Had the same problem with my car even though it had only done 19000ks
It had worn a very small hole in the moulding joint at the bottom of the container. A little carefull heat with the solder iron welded it up sufficiently.
No trouble since.

Could it be wind noise eminating from the heater/aircon vents on the dashboard, maybe a leaf or similar caught in the vent grill.
You would presume if it was mechanical it would also sound in the lower gears. Or if it is the diff it would be a lower tone. Good hunting.
