When I get in the car on a cold morning and then when the heater comes on with hot air I hear various creaks around the dashboard and centre console as the plastic parts seem to expand , they then seem to stop as things warm up. Never had this during the summer months , but seem to have started during the cold weather we have been having lately . Does this effect anybody else ??

Not personally, but sounds quite feasible... how long does it take for the creaking to stop?

Seems to stop after 10 mins or so , but is a bit annoying for a car of this value. I have had the same on a Disco 2 , but that was to be expected .

yep - happens to mine at exactly the same point every morning and night on my trip to/from the station - it must be as the heater cranks itself up to non-Arctic temp.

Was a bit annoying at first but I kind of expect it now, just as I go past that fourth big tree on the left....
