Engine whine low revs up to 2100 rpm. Any ideas?

Thanks for the lightning response tonycarreon, now you mention it it does sound like it could be that, although no tone change when turning the steering wheel - none that I noticed anyway...I will check it out further. Cheers for now.

cavmar - if you are handy with a 10mm and a 24mm spanner, remove the poly-rib belt that drives the alternator, power steering, water pump and A/C and run the engine for no more than a minute or so (no coolant flow).
If the whine stops, then you know its any one of the above accessory's or the belt pulley's / tensioner that's causing the noise.

Cheers Steve, defiantly worth a try, I sincerely hope the noise does stop at that point!
