R4 beeping

[WolfRichter]

Hey Renault folks, I hope you're having a great day. My '85 (in my last post I said 84, I beg your pardon)R4, 850cc, has gotten through inspection! Naturally I wanted to drive it right away and after warming it up, of course I wanted to test it's speed on the world famous Autobahn.(It did 65mph ish btw and I believe it could have gone a bit faster)At a certain speed the dashboard startet beeping, I couldn't see any of the warning lights coming on. I assume this is a high speed warning indicator? This was my first highway ride in that car so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
Thank you in advance!

I guess it's the speedometer magnet bush gone dry or having excessive play. Whenever it has happened to me, it made more of a howling sound than beeping, though.

I appreciate you taking time for me however it positively was a beeping sound, as if it tried to warm me of something

Then maybe somebody in the past may had wired a buzzer to warn about exceeding speed limit. Would be interesting to see how it has been done.

At some point I think I have to dig deeper into the dashboard anyway

Don't know the 85 ish R4 elektrical, but can it be a tripping relay? This can make a buzzer like sound.
This can occur when voltage does crazy things. Coming from alternator at higher revs?
Have seen it happen more than once on other cars.

Relay Trip Think there is only the Hazard/Indicator Flasher Unit under the Steering Cowling.
