[ROVERNET - UK] 3500s whine

Hi all.
In anticipation of this weekend's Rover tinkering adventures on the
3500s, I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on likely cause of engine
(or tranny) whine? Whine rises and falls with rpms, in gear or Park.
Transmission fluid is fine, shifting is smooth, although I do get a
clunk at low speed downshift, coming to a stop. But before I go too
far, I should mention that I had the power steering box open last
weekend to replace the O-ring seal, and I've read that air in the
system can cause a whine like this. I'd like to be able to say when
the whine began, but I recently replaced two cracked exhaust
manifolds, and the quieter running engine has allowed me to hear
other noises that may have been there all along. I also replaced the
alternator last weekend, and although I now get a new clunk from
that, it is not the source of the whine.
Any thoughts on this, as usual, greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter
