ah ha! on top of the injector pump is a banjo bolt on the fuel return side which contains a spring loaded ball valve. the spring weakens causing the ball bearing to resonate. i removed the bolt and took the ball and spring out. then i stretched the spring slightly and replaced. the spring is similar to that inside a ball point pen. put it all back together again and hey presto!
it's hard to believe that this could cause such a whistling noise coming up through the footwell but it does (did).
let me know if this works and i'll PM you my address for that case of beer!!
bear in mind i live in th UK
