Hi everyone, I just wondered if anyone can shed light in the strange creaking noise I get occassionally when moving off. It happens mainly when the car has been standing, once you are driving its quite rare. I havent found anything that might explain it and I dont really know where its coming...

Hi all, you may remember my attempts to sort out various knocks etc from my suspension. I was researching this and found a reference to a well known problem with the arb bushes in the Note E12.
