At first I thought it was an electrical problem as the sound is so strange but wailing and high pitched is a pretty accurate description.

I was going to drop it into the dealer to investigate but am concerned that as it only kicks in around 85 they will not be willing to look at it. Can you report back on whether changing the motor fixes this?

Thanks

Sounds like they haven't fitted your microfilter properly.
