What is this squeeling when it's parked up
Ive noticed when I get home and park the car and lock it that there is a weird squeeling noise roughly every minute or so from under the bonnet.
I thought was the alternator but now I'm not sure.
It lasts about 1 second. Been doing it for half an hour now. Almost like a little electrical buzz.
I've noticed it because I'm working in my garage next to it.
Any thoughts?

The water pump makes a buzzing noise and does run after the car is turned off if its very hot
My 35i does this a lot

More of a high pitched buzz really. Definitely electrical . Not a pump

Are you married or have a (female) partner who regularly uses the car?
Just trying to rule out the obvious TBH!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

The forum wouldn't be the same without him
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
