Does anyone else have similar issues to the ones I'm having.
First one
Pull the car into the garage, leave overnight and then the next morning when reversing out of the garage and all the way down the drive the rear brakes seem to bind every so slighlty.
The noise is like Chewbacca making his war cry as I slowly move backwards down the drive.
The moment you drive forwards the noise stops. Wondering if the pads are binding slightly on the disc - as thats what it sounds like - but it reverbarates throughthe full car. Its more or an annoyance than anything else.
I noticed this from day 1 of owning the car and initially just put it down to it being new and since then have never noticed it as the missus has been the one to get the car out of the garage most days as I have a company car for use daily.
It was only over the weekend that I noticed again and when speaking withthe missus she informed me that it does it everyday, but she just ignores it !
Maybe a trip to the dealer required to get rid.
Second issue
When anyone is sat in the passenger seat - seatbelt on and driving around there is a bl@@dy annoying groan / squeek from the passenger side seatbelt buckle / plug socket - with every bump or undulation in the road as their body moves in the seat and the tension changes on the belt - squeek, groan, squeek, groan, squeek groan...... I just turn the stereo up currently.
But again maybe needing another trip to the dealer.
Anyone else have these issues?
Thanksfully I dont have the window rattle issue
