2 problems have crept up with the car, one, the water temperature needle seems to get stuck on max, quite worrying but i know it isnt overheating, i was told this was a problem that was rectified pre delivery but its still happening, gave the dash a whack and it reset but after awhile it went back (obviously the needle not the sensor then),
is this easily accessible? or am i going to have a rattly dash if they try to fix it?
2nd is the steering, when stationary it occasionaly makes a metal on metal groan that comes and goes, you can also hear some sort of metallic noise at low speed, at higher speeds its fine, will take it back to cridfords but dont want to be separated from the car so soon

CM, if I were you i would go into one (slightly) with Cridfords.
As I recall you saw this car privately,you could have bought it for less,so the money you paid the dealer should be for a sorted car with some sort of warranty.
This is unless you implicitly bought it sold as seen?
At least let them know of the problems and arrange a mutually convenient time a little way in the future,just in case you find something else you are not happy with.
You may as well get your money's worth?

will be popping down this weekend to see them, youre completely right CS, i paid that money for piece of mind and ill make sure they know it
i dont think the steering groan is the pump, its more a metallic sound and is coming from quite far up the steering column, almost from where the steering wheel connection, it also goes if i turn it left and right, obviously something is misaligned or needs lubrication
cheers

On the knock front , is there a Universal joint between steering column & rack???
I had this knock on lock thing from my old Clubsport,a harmless looking UJ had a bit of play in it,I changed that at a ludicrous £120 for the part alone and all was well....maybe a 968 is completely different as a CS doesn't have power steering.
