My clutch lasted for 82,000,flywheel was fine.

You can unplug the amp from the boot,its behind a removable pannel,drivers side,the lead has a red clamp that you need to unclip.

I had this a while ago & it was the amp that was causing the whine,try disconnecting it.
I disconnected mine & was gonna get a new one,but when I reconnected it the whine was gone,but it does come back from time to time.

Thanks for the replys,Yeah its the oem bose amp,im not too bothered about quality, only listen to the radio really,so im looking for the cheapest fix really,dont want to spend a fortune.

Found out today that my amp needs refurbishing, have any of you guys had this done,if so could you point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Just had my clutch replaced,& im amazed at how light & easy the gear changes are,it was getting notchy beforehand & 1St was sometimes difficult from cold,so id say the clutch was on the way out in the one you drove. What clutch did you go for and who fitted it? It was an oem clutch,fitted by Mrc,my...
