First post here so hello all.

I bought a 1992 106XN 1.0 with 92k on the clock a couple of weeks ago
and after four or five hundred miles I'm becoming more and more aware of
 a nasty sound from somewhere at the front of the car. At first I
thought  it was a wheel bearing but I now think it maybe be something a
little more fatal.

There's what may be desribed as a grindy / squeaky noise that is
dependant on the revs. It is at its loudest when I lift off the
accelerator and the car is coasting in gear; for instance going down
hill or slowing on a motorway sliproad. To my untrained ear it sounds
like the gearbox or somewhere in the bottom end of the engine that's at
fault. Does anyone have an opinion on what would be most likely to be
could be causing this?

Any ideas?

Thanks.
