Hi to all .
Just got myself a 2003 1.8 LS. 62,000mls but feels like new except for a creaking and rattle coming from the back of the car after about 2mls of setting off.
Everything looks fine on the underside!
Any ideas?![]()

Hi
Could be the top or bottom bushes from the Dampers. It did it on my Signum until they kindly replaced them. See if it does it after a serious amount of rain. If its still there, the bushes could need replacing. If it has gone then they need greasing.
Of course it could be something completely different

Thanks Rich.I will get it checked out, but what I still don't get is why it only starts after I have covered 2mls or so, its ok at first?
could be the tailgate i just fixed mine recently or more to the point duncan did!!
Hi
Graeme could be right as well. The reason it will only start after you have done a few miles is that it cools down on standing and any heat in rubber tends to make it creak if not lubricated when being driven. Does it make lots of noise when you go over a speed bump at all. As I said the only reason I thought it was the bushes was due to the miles driven and the fact that mine did it. Keep us all posted as to the real cause![]()
Hi all ,
thanks for all the info.
As it's weekend I will have a look at the problem.
One thing I have read in the hand book is the term Automatic Level Controle.
This starts to opperate after 2 mls.(just about the time my fault comes on)
Do all vectras have this or is it an extra?Dose anybody know how it works?
It's on page 205 of my handbook.
