Further to this, it's been found that the upgraded bevel box mounting (the NVH kit) doesn't really help and is a very heavy bit of kit for no real gain. If you get a car without it I would recommend that you don't bother to get it retrofitted.

As Charlie says, different oil does help, Redline and Millers EP140 seem to be the best so far and it's fairly easy to change and try different types.

To put the noise into context, it typically occurs in a fairly small speed range of around 5-10 mph somewhere between 45-65 mph.
