The car had a brand new gearbox fitted by a main Vauxhall dealer a few weeks ago during the process of buying car (20k miles on clock) due to a common problem with the bearings in the M32.

 Guys, I had the dreaded whining and twitching in my car so I popped down to WG motorworks in sittingbourne Kent. Saw warren and for £599 he did a replacement of all bearings full inspection and oil ha he etc and was really professional. Highly recommended if you are having that issue

Probably been pushing it for too long, but 2017 1.4t gtc has developed a whine, starting July last year at around 30k. Increasly getting louder. 41k now.

Reading that the gearbox is the notorious M32 and is common issue. Generally the whine starts above 20mph and get louder with speed, no movement in gear stick, can be a bit stiff when cold.
