Loud resonating vibration 2k-3k

[-Leigh-]

I've just popped out at lunchtime to pick up something for my bro, and on the way back, this wierd whirring vibration started.

It seems to be coming from the rear nearside of the car, and at first I thought it was a wheel bearing gone, but it only happens with the engine at 2.5k-3k. If I accelerate past this, it disappears, and then when I let off the throttle, when it gets to about 3k it starts and gets quite loud, until the engine is below 2k and it goes again.

It's quite a loud resonating noise. Like a badly blowing exhaust I suppose.

My local garage is going to have a look at it tomorrow morning at 8.30, but it would be good to have an idea at what it could be.

Anyone had similar, or have any idea to the cause to put my mind at rest lol.

I'm hoping it's something like the exhaust vibrating on the rear beam, that just needs adjusting. And not an engine mount or something that wont be able to be fixed till after the weekend.

This must be the only thread with all posts by the op lol.

Just to say, took it to the garage, and the backbox had come out of its rubber mount. So they just put it back in.

Just incase anyone ever has the same problem.

sounds like something on the exhaust. centre sections were commen problems for a vibration/buzzing noise at 3k
