Hi there,
Apologies for my first post on here being a request for help!
I own a 52 plate 1.0 Micra Tempest. It runs fine; however, when it is idling (only after the engine has reached normal working temperature) the engine makes a high-pitched screeching sound. It's not loud (like a fanbelt going), but is definitely noticeable and you can hear it inside the car. It's done 40000 miles. I've also noticed also that when it is doing this, the revs seem to drop very low and, when sat in the car, it feels like it is going to conk out.
Can anybody offer any suggestions as to what the problem may be, and how I might get it sorted?
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Chris
