Hello everyone, first post here.
So I've had my '99 inspiration for about 7 months now and has been a great first car to get me where I need to go, one issue I am coming across now is this loud sound (video attached going 30-40mph) that gets very loud around around 60. Now I do know these cars aren't the best for motorways and comfort, but I do reach these speeds often and would like to know if it's normal. The cars got around 70k miles and the last owner did frequently use the motorway. It's had a good service history and only failed MOTs for silly things like windscreen jets. I have just changed the gearbox oil along with the engine oil with some Castrol goodies and hasn't made much difference to sound, it's last MOT did have an advisory about the track rod end and driveshaft dust covers and CV boots being deteriorated but the last owner replaced all of these and put in new track rod ends so I believe this is the source of the sound as it does only change with speed and neutral/gear doesn't affect it
Any help on what to look at would be appreciated
