As im driving along and accelerate I can hear a whistling noise and it seems to get louder as I put more acceleration or drop it down a gear and lift the cluth up slowly! What could it be as its starting to worry me

if its just a whistling when accelration its just a vacuum leak. Check all pipes, gaskets etc around the inlet
