Peter, could it be the small covers on the door mirrors? These were known to vibrate at speed on early models. Fixed with a dab or two of silicone.

no its not them i have a idea it may be a bearing ...but thanks for post

toyota dealer didnt know what was making the whirring noise , said to bring it in when next due for service and leave overnight ..not a great deal of help .

called in at my local Halfords centre ...the mechanic there [ mark ] very helpful came out with me ..heard the noise and thought it was a "dry clutch bearing" that was making the noise said to leave it untill it got worse then replace unit ...only thing is the " whirring noise " sometimes goes away completely ...very weird !!!
