Today my 2002 RAV4 diesel developed a strange almost whistling noise, when on tick over it seems normal but blip the throttle the engine definitely sounds off. Any suggestions before I hit the garage.

Obvious one is the turbo but could also be the alternator bearing. Try putting a screwdriver on the alternator and press it on your ear while having the car reved up. It may give you a clue.

Thanks Northern Lad, it was the turbo, bad news, quote of approx. £1000 to fix it.
