Had the cerb for about 5 weeks now, and the smile is getting bigger the more I learn about how to drive the car..

Only niggle so far is that the back end creaks when I go over any form of bump in the road (e.g. speed bumps at 5mph). Sounds to me (bear in mind i'm not that mechanically minded) that there's something going on with the suspension as the creaking/groaning noises sound fairly metallic.

Has anyone else experienced this ? Is it just what comes with Cerb ownership ? Do I need to take it back to the dealer for a check up ?

Thanks
Julesy

yep, got exactly the same problem. I've been told that it's the anti roll bar needing relubing, but nothing that can't wait until my next service.

Yep mine did this a while back too, but seemed to remedy itself after a few weeks and it never reappeared

MINE DID THIS ALSO ... MOST ANOYING ...

Offords fixed it for me on the first service I had ... involved reshaping the edge of the roll bar to stop it rubbing on fibreglass.

yeah, mine does it occasionally too. Nothing serious to worry about, you could try turning your springs in case they have settled into a place where they rub a bit.
