Hello Ted! Thanks for taking an interest. I drove it around for a couple of hours yesterday and listened closely. As I said, when I first start it up, the engine sounds great. Then usually after 10 minutes or so as I rev I start to here the whirring/ticking noise. Which I'd describe as rotational, like a rhythmic round and round. It gets louder as the engine revs higher then lessens when the gears shift up. I.e. the noise is at its worse just before switching into 2nd or 3rd. So it must be linked to the transmission? When it idles in Park I hear *nothing*. It disappears when I'm at a standstill too.
Hope that helps! :)
