The Bad:

~ When in Park, if I rev it the car will roll until it goes back to idle.

This should not happen. There is an adjustment required I think it is related to the length of the cable the shifter moves. And Silver Spear is correct. It will be wearing your clutches. Get it adjusted.

~ At idle there is a very distinct metallic rattling noise coming from the engine bay. Doesnt do it all the time and doesnt affect performance. Maybe an exhaust flange or catalytic convertor shield is loose?

This is usually caused either by the heat shields up over the cats, or else by a loose plate within the expansion chamber in the middle of the exhaust line. It looks like a cat, but isn't. Check the heat shields are not rattling first. If they are OK, it's very likely to be the baffles in the expansion chamber.

The baffles are more of an annoyance than a problem. But the moving in park will cost you dear if you don't attend to it right away.
