I got the knocking sound after I got my car lowered on just springs. Got rid of the springs and got a full Koni kit. Problem solved.

Drivers door leaked. Used to drip all the time from the exact same places. Not done it for a while.

Wipers are crap. Had them replaced and they are still crap. And judder across the screen.

Yeah, me! Drivers side, towards the centre of the top, the seal is crap, when it rains I get drips coming through every now and then, it's left a water mark on the corner of the seat too now :(

Going into Vauxhall next weekend for a moan, car's only 6 months old...

i think we should all contact vauxhall and show how disapointed we are in our cars. Maybe we'll get new ones :lol:

si_reading check that your pads/shoes are clean,sometimes brake dust build up causes the brakes to squeal,if not it could be the wear markers on the pads like red said.

ive had this problem to mate, took my car in and had a new steering rack, and it has now come back yet again!!! so looks like ill be taking it back yet again!!

si_reading the squeeking noise from the brakes is a safety device on the brakes to let you know the pads are nearly worn out, mine have done this on my past sxi, the reason they do it is there is a little clip on the pads which will rub on the disk when the pad wears down.
