After thinking to myself yesterday how well my V8 Auto has been running, today it decided to pull a trick.
It started fine this morning, but within a mile I noticed a whining noise. I put this down to a damp alternator/steering pump belt, but by the time I got to work (8miles/30mins drive), it was quite noticable and obviously not a belt.
On the move, the whining occurs in first gear (it disappears when shifting to 2 and reappears on the downshift to 1) but is not there when stationary in gear 1. However, the noise is present when stationary in P and N.
I haven't checked the fluid levels yet (will do so at lunchtime) but can anyone suggest what the problem may be.
