Mine makes a similar noise from the o/s wing, it is the self-levelling suspension pump.

My 2.5TD had a loud whirring noise once - used to last anything between 10-30 seconds, then the A/C compressor exploded - no more whirring noises.   :-/

Could be worth checking the Secondary air pump I know its been mentioned already but if the filter breaks up and gets into the pump this is what can cause the whirring/whining noise.

Worth a look its on the passenger side, up behind the horns better seen from beneath.

If the noise is coming from the passenger side wing area this would be the first thing I would check.

HTH :)

Secondary air injection for sure. Unplug it and see if it is the same.

If the one way valve has gone in the pipework, it will sound like the exhaust is blowing too for a while. Grab the top rubber hose for the A I and fold it to stop any flow. Any exhaust blowing noise shoud stop. If so, the one way valve has gon as well.

Pump is an easy 10 minute change. Costa bout a tenner from a breaker.
