I looked over the car last night. The noise is speed related and is related to the wheels, not the engine (i.e. if you get up to 70 and then put the car in neutral, the noise continues). It does it driving straight and turning right.

Suspension is all solid, and the noise sounds to me like something that's rotating. Didn't find the cause though! I'm trying to find Wozza's old thread about propshaft bearings.

had something similar a year or 2 back.. how old are the tyres and how much tread do you have.

if the tyres are old this can cause a rhytmic humming - sounds like a bearing is worn

I thought wheel bearing but there's no play in any of the wheels with the car jacked up. Can't really comment on the age of the tyres but they have a fair amount of tread depth.

Tyres were fresh on in April. They are shitbox ditch finders though. I will have a look at the prop when I get the chance.

could very well be the tyres, as i said i had the same issue, sounded like bearings etc, the tyres had loads of tread but had gone hard and this caused a rhytmic vibration, changed the tyres and instantly the sound went.

if you can find someone kind enough, swap wheels for a test drive to confirm

I had an almost identical experience not that long ago. Noise and vibration from about 55mph up, and only when turning left.

Turned out to be a collapsed bearing.

jack up each corner and spin the wheel you will hear or feel it vibrate if the wheel bearing is gone is usually easy to identify whilst driving thou but doesnt always give you play in the wheel
