Has anybody else got the annoyance of the top head dash creaking when the heater is turned on. it does my head in plastic expanding - why is this happening ????
What Minty said...Minty said:my coop does this too. doesnt bother me, I have the stereo turned up too loud to hear it!
I have to agree with you there, every time my car has gone back to the dealer I have told them to look at it. It's had all the fittings renewed and tightened but it's still got vibrations and rattles. I drove a October Cooper and it didn't have any rattles, so maybe things at MINI quality control have got a bit better. Are there any owners of January/February build cars who have got the rattles?A creaking (popping?) dash is a niggle I wouldn't ask a dealer to fix.
I've noticed a very annoying creak/squeak from the A pillar on the driver side - only started after I had cracked windscreen replaced. It's worse when it's cold, but it never used to do it at all before the glass was replaced. I've quite a few other squeaks that are becoming more and more annoying so I'll be taking a trip to the dealers soon.ChrissieB said:Mine had a really loud creaking from the glove box took it in and BMW fixed it now a few weeks on a new creaking noise has appeared. Took it back agiain they tell me it is the A pillar and needs new brackets? They have ordered them for me, get if fixed in a couple of weeks. The garage are really helpful but this is very dissapointing and a pain in having to take it in. Fingers crossed this does the trick, has anyone else had the brackets done in the A pillar. (they said it the bit next to the driver from the roof to the dash) :silver:
