I have a T3 also. If it’s what sounds like trim rattling from under the steering wheel/back of engine bay, I have just taken my car back from Volvo, where they had it for 2 weeks trying to find the source (I’d only had the car for a few weeks myself!)
Turned out to be a pipe in the engine bay had been fitted to the bracket incorrectly and vibrated against a metal part of the engine only under load, hence why it was difficult to find!
Can you describe the noise in any more detail?
T3 Rdesign Rattle
Rob did your issue get rectify ? As I’ve got the same noise and my car has been in the dealer for the 2 weeks, there saying it’s the clutch slave cylinder feed pipe. Hopefully I’ll get the car back this weekRobsAppleJuice wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 1:41 pm I have a T3 also.

I did indeed, they didn’t say exactly which pipe it was, but it was just a big heavy rubber pipe incorrectly mounted and vibrating against another metal component of the engine bay during load! A 5 minute fix in the end...Andyfta wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 9:02 pmRob did your issue get rectify ?
