My Xantia T/D Estate has developed a "hum" (I dont mean smell!!) at the front end-cant tell which side but it increases with speed and is there in neutral but is worse when I let the speed drop to 38mph in 5th. and then accelerate slowly.It's ever so slightly quieter on left hand bends.
Anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like a wheel bearing on it's way out, if it get's quieter going round left hand bends does it get louder going round right handers, if so it would suggest the left hand bearing is in trouble, the only positive way to tell is if you can feel play in it, they can get well noisy before any play is evident though. would'nt think it was a gearbox fault as the noise is there in neutral.
