Driving home today noticed a hissing sound coming from passenger side rear, Not sure just where it is coming from

as only hear it when vehicle is moving

sound is not constant, more intermittent

Any ideas please.

It is not a screeching sound Wayne, more like a leaky airline

I would check your hoses.
I had the exact noise in my Bongo. Turned out to be a small hole in one of the hoses.
Best to check it out.

Have not checked turbo yet Wayne, will do it in daylight Did not hear sound when stationary and revved engine, just when running low revs when moving,

Is it a wooshing sound just before it changes up gear?
Really advise you to check your hoses when the engine is running.
I ignored the sound for a while, then i noticed it was loosing coolant and that turned out to be quite costly.
