Hubbie and I are on our yearly trip away, the first big long drive we've done in Bluebelle, 996.4km in 2 days...  we've found a few little things that are annoying when driving long distance.

One the windscreen in too big/on to little of an angle, the legs have a line of sunburn... but the most annoying thing in the whistling noise, I can't figure out if its the door seals or windscreen seal, not really sure what else it could be?? Any ideas?? 

I'll take a pic of the front of Bluebelle for you all tomorrow too, so you can see just how much of a bug magnet the front of our beloved cars are..

I don't recall an annoying whistle in my old CRDi..(haven't done a long high speed run in the CW yet)

Is yours a petrol or Diesel? If it's the later the turbo could be whistling but if it were that loud and annoying it would be a worry 

Will be interested to see other replys!

I get wind noise from the windscreen rubbers at high speed

[accim]

I don't have any annoying whistling sound..not even at 180 km/h+. Mine's a CW, but nevertheless..

She's a petrol

I was thinking that it might be the wind getting under the rubber strips along the roof??

oh and here's the bugs pic...

Any ideas on how I get the bugs out of my radiator??

Is that a dent in the middle of your bonnet?
Re: the bugs. They'll dry out and disintegrate relatively quickly.

I suspect the "dent" may be a reflection of a light fitting or smoke detector overhead......

As for the whistle, did you check to make sure all your windows are wound fully up?

[Bel680]

Yup "dent" is the light in the carport.

And windows all the way up

just because the windows are all up doesn't mean it isn't a window whistling.    if you put a window down a bit does it stop.?

[eye30]

mirrors can cause wind deflection, hence a whistle

Will give it a try next time we hear it, didn't hear it at all while driving today...
