Evening All,
Since owning it for the last year my BJ8 has had an annoying noise. Only when warmed up fully and reaching a max volume after 1-2 hours driving this occurs. A noise at about 2250 rpm upwards which seems to come from the clutch area and can only be described as a mixture between a reverberation and a rotational whirr. If you hold your foot lightly on the clutch pedal you can feel a matching cyclical vibration which matches the engine revs. Someone mentioned that it could be that the car was fitted at some time with a ball bearing release bearing which may have seized up. Does anyone concur with this or has anyone come across such a noise?
Thanks in advance, Mike
