Hi all! I hope someone can point me and my service centre in a direction we haven’t thought of. So my car is 2023 V6 model sport suspension. Under warm / hot weather I’ve figured out somewhere above 20 degrees under acceleration I get a creak / cracking noise from what I feel is the chassis but could also be the suspension!

The hotter the day. The worse it gets to the point even turning the steering wheel can cause the problem or a bumpy road can create horrific creaking noises that becomes extremely loud.

Nottingham have had the car over a month now and have confirmed the issue exists but they can’t pin point what’s causing it. They have said they feel the only option is to completely strip the car down but they feel lotus won’t cover this warranty due to the labour time. Which I’m going to fight for a start
