Thanks for replying, yeah, I'm pretty sure it stopped when stationary. In one I noticed that it also took a while to shift into reverse and back again and I think that can sometimes indicate transmission problems. Well, I'll be wary of another like them until I can find exactly what causes the noise. I wonder if a RACQ pre-purchase inspection would show the reason?
