   Hi guys my vts has now developed another problem.
   
   It has started makeing a strange wirring/whineing noise when driving.
   Its the same in all gears im thinking input shaft bearing or similar?
   Ive now owned the car two years and had no problems up until a few months ago i have spent nearly as much as i paid for the car fixing these .
   The engine is now on 104.00m maybe look for a new engine?

   Where is the noise coming from?
   What is the car doing when you hear the noise? Going round corners? Idling? Going in a straight line?

   It only does it when driving car seems to drive and idles fine it sounds like its coming from engine bay.
   For some reason it dosnt do it as much when steering left but very noticable in a straight line and steering right u can also feel it vibrating

   If you can't work out the issue yourself then you need to take it to a garage.
   
   It's not possible for people on here to diagnose the exact issue, we can only offer possibilities.

    Yeah i know its hard to diagnose with out seeing/hearing for yourself.
    I was just seeing if anyone had any ideas from my description.
    Im going to book it into a garage asap ive got a horrible feeling its something a bit more serious than a wheel bearing.
    Worst case scenario new gearbox or a recon.
