Mine did it when I bought the car on ~65000 miles. 3 years and nearly 40000 miles later, it's still doing it, but no worse than when I bought the car. Not worth worrying about, I'd say..

It would be interesting to see some rolling road tests, across the rev range, done with the engine up to temperature and the bonnet CLOSED and, I guess, a large fan blowing at the front of the car!

I've never heard of a "brake cylinder stopper"! The ebay auction doesn't help much, either.
What are they, how do they work, where are they fitted etc?
Thanks :)

I'd try and replace all 4 shocks if I were you - it makes a big difference. You'd be MUCH better off with 4 new standard shocks than with AGX rears but knackered fronts.

Is there anything to bear in mind when putting the gear stick back in? For example, can it be put back wrong, or can you muck things up so it won't go back in?

On the pipes a little before the rear silencer, something is attached to the...
I don't understand - what makes you think there's a 50000 mile service? It looks like 48 and 54 according to the schedule...
