Hi I am quite happy with my s type r but one thing which i am finding very annoying is the supercharger whining
Dose anyone else who has the R model have the same problem
anyone know if there is a way to reduce the whining noise
Apart from turning the stereo up
Thanking you
Darrol

The superchargers does make a noise. Not as lovely a noise as my Triumph Stag V8 but a lovely noise nevertheless. Lovely enough that I removed the said noise suppression cover so that I can hear it a lot more and stop some of the heat soak.
Noise shouldn't be annoying though. Probably follow scottjh9 advice and have these things checked.
The lower windscreen plastic cover located in the engine bay does have an insulated backing that stops noise and heat quite effectively. This backing was never suitable in an engine bay environment and would be well and truly deteriorated by now. Side issue (possibly noise related also); the foam around the charcoal filter compartment would be deteriorated also by now allowing engine fumes into the cockpit.
Foam inside the air filter box would be deteriorated also.

And land transport new Zealand there are 60 STRS in New Zealand

whe you give it some gas other wise its nice and quiet
And you can take a peace full drive if want
with the STR you don't get that
So depending on what mood I choose between the two

Usually its the neighbours and the extended neighbourhood of the rest of the town not liking the supercharger wining... ![Wink](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)
There is a supercharger car here in this town. I never saw it, but I frequently hear it when it drives somewhere 500-1000m away from where I live.
No chance that you do not hear this car approaching - in stark contrast to electric cars - not even if you are hard of hearing...
