Hi everyone,

I have a really bugging noise with my car, it sounds like the alternator belt being loose but quieter. When I press the clutch down it goes away. I had the complete clutch replaced 18 months ago and have done 25K on it since the replacement. Is this noise the release bearing, or is it the flywheel. When the cars idle I cannot hear the bearing, just this whinning noise. I then press the clutch and release, the noise is then gone and comes back again after reving. Any ideas what it could be, your help would be much appreciated.
