Hi guys I've got the car now, and I'm happy apart from one thing. At around 1,500/2,000 rpm I get a weird blowing/ induction sound for around 500rpm then it quietens down again? Any ideas, blowing exhaust, worn supports or engine mounts, etc? Just a little worried as it is a little loud when it does it.

Hey up Micky, usually a whistle would eminate from something blowing, I would look at the inlet mainfold area check the clips on all inlet hoses etc and the exhaust mainfold I would use soapy water to locate the blow whistle.best of luck
