Hi all, I've got a Roland Garros estate 03 plate done nearly 99,000 miles but as of a month ago it sounds dodgy as when I get above 50mph, initially thought it might just be the revs but it's not too bad when in 3rd/4th but once into 5th and doing a decent bit of speed it sounds like a jet plane taking off and just makes that constant noise. Any ideas on what might be wrong would be appreciated....and advice on how to fix it. Cheers.

What does it sound like? Loud, whiney? Does it increase with speed. Also, dont think there was a RG estate, got any pics?!

Yep, they weren't common though as most were built prior to 2001.

What about the "estate" aspect? Can you shed any light on this?
