My Bighorn has developed a low pitched sort of whistle when excellerating, I can only hear it at low speeds, have to listern closely to hear it but never the less it is there.Any idea,s what this might be.Kind regards Laurence, Thames , NEW ZEALAND

could be a turbo noise
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

Yep could be turbo but could also be leaking inlet or exhaust manifold. Only way to test is with engine running and stethescope.
Been down this road myself. Good luck.

how loud?
A slight noise from a turbo can be considered normal
