Hi there
Picked up my westy the other week all good
Now I've been cruising on the motorway 70 k ok but as I speed up strange noise which I think is coming from front grille or maybe loose number plate No noise at low speeds only gets louder the faster you go
No vibrations in steering or van
Any ideas ?
Thanks simon

Radiator fan spinning? Loose Radiator cards? Loose spare wheel?

A bit of a random one for you but we had this horrible knocking noise coming from the n/s front of the cab when driving on the motorway but only when it reached 60 ish. Turned out to be the aerial with a topper on it waggling about and knocking on the roof. :oops: Quick fix though.

Well I found the noise it was the baggage roof starting to vibrate at about 80 90 k
Noticed a couple of screws missing
Thanks
