power locks or manual?
could you further describe the whirring? possibly the fan? is the idle high?

I'm guessing the whirring noise is the Torque Tube bearings.

Door handles do brake. Pot metal.
Find a new or used one.

Guess maybe...fan belt worn

the door locks are manual ones
cuz manual is the way to go

lol
and the whirring comes from the rear
it seems to get lighter as the clutch pedal is pressed down
it either totally disappears then or is very faint, hard to tell
