Nissan Micra CVT - hugh946

We have had a 1996 1.3 Micra CVT from new. It has recently started 'whining', getting louder with engine speed and acceleration, becoming unbearable at 60-70, reducing when speed reduces. Is this likely to be the end of the CVT? Would be grateful for any ideas.

I am interested in the life of these systems. What milage are you on?
Might be worth a gearbox oil change. Fairly cheap and it might give you another year??
