gearbox 'rattly' noise when foot on brake at lights for example. Any ideas?

Is gearbox same as on diesel ?

yes, I believe it's the same 6 speed gb. Check your engine mounts first?

I agree with Motion.

The 3.2 was only available in the UK for a few years I think (2007 - 2008?)

So yours is about 14 years old?

Here is what I did for my 2008 3.2 (you can feel the collapsed mount)

For reference the Motor Mounts are a typical repair after about 10 years

Typical repairs for high mileage 3.2
A) Thermostat – replaced mine at 10 years (also replaced two coolant hoses)
B) Fuel pressure sending unit
C) PCV valve – replaced mine at 113,000 miles
D) Engine mounts
E) AC Compressor or clutch pack - (Installed a new compressor and clutch on the S80)
F) Ignition coils (Some evidence that a failed Thermostat leads to overheating and premature Coil failure)
G) Radiator Fan
H) Wheel Bearings
I) Anti-Drain back valve in oil canister housing failure
J) Radiator

The complete list is here fore the 3.2

Note: there aren't very many 3.2 in the UK but over here it is all we got until the 2.0T replaced it.

Take Care

PS I am hesitant to mention this but there has been an instance of a broken Flex Plate causing problems. Let us know what you find out.
