I'll keep you posted on the solution.
Bloody hell, these issues are annoying. I have a loose heatshield or something which has been causing a feint rattle as the turbo spools up. Today it escalated to a full-on vibration at 3500rpm. Coupled with the squeeky/groaning steeering, a rattle has also appeared on the passenger side, but it's intermittent so tricky to track down...

I'm going to phone SMG on Monday and book it in again, also only at 6400km.

My Renault Megane didn't have any issues at all until 25000km!
