After driving for a while it makes a whining noise, when you put your foot on the accelerator it goes away seems to be when idling. Any ideas!

*At the risk of sounding like an idiot* Is that to do with the Radio! If so, I don't think so. I have had a mechanic try to locate the problem to no avail. All belts are fine. It's quite a loud whine, but like I said when you put your foot on the accelerator it disappears til idling again. Doesn't make the noise while your actually driving, Only when stopped at the lights or in traffic.

Is it a whine or a squeeky sort of noise!

its a water pump wine / squeal common on nissans.

Couldn't really call it squeaky. More of a long (never ending) squeal. Someone did suggest the radiator cap - but there's no problem there.

Ok, Cheers will look into that. So the accelerating would make the noise disperse then if it were the water pump!

Ring your nearest nissan dealership and ask for the parts or service centre (may not be open today) and give them your make and model plus engine number and they will tell you in 2 secs what the prob is. But don't let them fool you into doing the repair for you they could be expensive, just quote what they say to your trusted mechanic

Get your mechanic to connect a vacuum gauge to the manifold, will soon detect any manifold leaks if its that loud.
Does it make the same noise in Park as opposed to Drive with foot brake on!
