I feel like I'm posting a lot in this thread lately.. but curious about creaking. About 500 miles in now and I'm getting more and more noise from the interior. I've noticed some creaking as I turn into steep driveways, which isn't much of an issue for me. Hard to say what's making the noise, seems to occur from torsional stress when going over diagonal incline/declines of driveways and such. Is it the dash fixtures or something deeper in the chassis? Not sure. Otherwise nothing of note.
But today it was a bit hotter than usual, and I noticed on the highway there was a similar creaking/clicking/ratteling when driving over small bumps or road texture on the highway. Again, hard to tell where it's coming from, but it sounds like some non-mechanical part (perhaps interior or plastic fixings, etc) somewhere within the drivers side dash area, but could be deeper in than I'm realizing.
Seems pretty difficult to diagnose, and a lot of it might just boil down to "well it's a Lotus". But of course we all appreciate a car that doesn't rattle or make unwanted noise. Curious if others have had issues like this?
