Whine and OD Light Flashing

Not too sure if this is a problem or just normal. Just took my 93 NA out for the first time and whenever I accelerate there's a whine, I don't know if this is induction noise or from the gearbox if anyone knows? Stock air intake. Also whenever overdrive is on it engages as normal however the light on the dash cluster flashes?

Cheers

Is the whine engine-speed related, or is it car-speed related? Unlikely to be induction noise I would think.

 

For the overdrive light, test to see if you've got any fault codes logged (search on here for the paperclip test if you're unfamiliar with it).

 

If it's engine-speed related, it could be one of the pulleys driven by the auxiliary belt, but that's just a guess without further fault-finding.

The whine only occurs under acceleration, like if I'm sitting at 70 it's not there but when I'm accelerating up to 70 it is. And I'll look up the paper clip test and give it a go tomorrow.

Cheers
