As you've probably guessed I'm a new owner with one hell of a lot of questions

I get a lot of creaks and squeaks from the roof panel.... Is there anything I can do about this?

Also I get creaks from the suspension. I know the car is a stiff low profile tyred car but just wondered if this is 'typical'.

It's a 2000 car.

Hi, putting a velcro strip along the back edge of the roof cavity will help with the creaks, and a suitable lubricant, phnarr phnarr, around the rubber strip will help eliminate rear window squeak. Both are quite normal, well for a Tuscan.
Good luck

Thanks for the advice Will try thhos fixes. Do You mean putting both sides of the velco on or just the fluffy bit?
