I must admit my history with the ladies was a disaster area.. i am mr sh##e when it came to dating... god only knows how I managed to end up with la chef...
Re: Annoying whistle, 1992 Toyota HiAce engine..
Hmm, maybe your current wife liked the engine vibration?
A former colleague complained about the rumbling sensation rising through the passenger seat in the 'Ace the first time she had a ride in the world's least refined example of a generally unrefined breed (that'll be the 3 3/4" bore stainless steel exhaust system then, more at home on some form of supercar than on a veggie oil slurping old bus with a mere 26.7 bhp per litre). I explained to her that, although I would accept a contribution to the cost of the fuel used for that lift home, the vibration was free.
That was the day on which I discovered that my old acquaintance has no sense of humour..

When I met wifey i did drive a fourtrack.. great little truck but noisy on a long run.. i also had a maestro van which was a nightmare... not forgetting the collection of rust that id collected over the years..your lady friend doesn't know what she's missing
Re: Annoying whistle, 1992 Toyota HiAce engine..
I'm not seeing a connection between my dear old camper van / shopping trolley and that Pinocchio mind. The van was whistling and shouldn't have been, whereas the famously wooden puppet with the hydraulic nose wanted to whistle, but couldn't because he was made out of wood.

Thinking about it my truck turbo whistles... well i hope its that.. since the radio code got wiped again i hear more engine noise..
Re: Annoying whistle, 1992 Toyota HiAce engine..
Turbo? Pah! Such modern trinkets are quite unnecessary , next you'll be telling us that your truck has to be fed on forecourt Diesel and that its cylinder head is cast from that newfangled aluminium, rather than proper metal, like cast iron and a hell of a thick slice of it!

I will have you know my truck is fed on the finest supermarket cheapo diesel money can buy..
As for the engine im not really sure what its made from or what size it is either.. when I bought it i wad told it was a 2.8 but every time i go to a garage or parts website it comes out as a 3.0 ... from what I understand it might be a nissan engine... one can only hope...
