So my XJ also has funny noises. Theres only one I'm concerned with right now and it's coming from my engine.
It's a very faint 'low-power-steering-fluid' sound. A whining noise coming from the front, lower part of my engine. It sounds VERY much like a power steering whine on the inside and outside...but it's not my steering! (All my PS fluid is there though, so don't ask me to check ), and there are no Fords around when I hear the noise.
The whining's pitch does go up and down with the engine's RPM...the only thing down there I can think of is my alternator...which hasnt shown any signs of death yet.
(Sorry for the dumb question, this is easier than taking off a skid plate and splash gaurd in the cold just to hear for a sound :X)
Any insight appreciated.
