Hmm......Smaky, my main suspicion is still the top mounts, the wishbones & bushes were done by our local Alfa independent (L&M) last Sept & they are pretty good at what they do. So what with the creaking etc I think I will tackle the top mounts next - once I have done the dratted heater matrix - never ending!!!!!!

As a matter of interest; what sort of mileage are people getting out of a set of front tyres? I know the 145s can be hard on tyres but I seem to be getting less than 10,000 miles - is that reasonable? I don't normally cane the car!!!
