Whirring Noise

Now i Hate to admit it but i give up after only trying two things to solve it.

First of all the problem is a whiring sound from the front wheels/axles dependant souly upon speed of hte car not revs but actual speed so i ruled out and am ihoping i still can rule out the gearbox.

Not i thought it may be the new bolts from the new wheels as iv heard of this before so i undid each bolt and checked its base to see for anywear non found.

Then i tryed a front disk pad change as i thought it could the pads rubbing ever so slightly now i admit they havn't bedded in yet and are new on so this may still be the problem .

Anyone got nay clues?

Its a 1.0L T reg for reference.

cheers lads.

Iv thought about it, i guess thats my next job, how hard are these to self swap.

Thing is the sounds been there that long iv become used to it and cant tell if its abnormal anymore.
