the squeeks will most likely be the seats, the inside can be quite squeeky, think it could be washers somewhere on the seat, cant remember exactly where but just remember reading summat on here before.

your will have a aux in in the glove box being an 09 plate :thumbs:

oh and :welcome: to the forum :thumbs:

welcome to the forum

The front window. i would be checking the window channel for clips as it may of had wind deflectors at somepoint and the clip is stopping it going up.

the rear window. Turn your ignition on the hold the window switch on the door its not working on down till you here a click or 10seconds then all the way up untill you hear a click or 10 seconds and it will reset it.

never heard of aircon rattke before. whats the mileage? yours should have the updated vvt unit but i would just lift the bonet and have a listen to the top left of the engine for chain slap or vvt rattle.

as for squeeks, they all squeek. mine has a buzz from the rear view mirror and a random squeek i cant locate. i dont think the harder suspension helps.

There is a mod you can make for the amp that's in the members section. If your cars stock you need to he changing up at about 5.7k. After this point the stock hpfp drops loads of pressure.

Yup expensive indeed :thumbs:

For your seat you may find its the seatbelt, down beside the centre arm rest slightly slacken the bolt on either side which secures your seatbelt holder to the seat. There is a proper fixing kit but the above method should work mate.

the bose stereo has some settings that make it louder, give it more bass, i think you access this from the knob on the rhs of the head unit, press that i think and you can dial up the sound (i think thats right)

you have it spot on mate. i didnt realize the white one was a mixed up one but yes there is a few mix and match one kicking about but as a rule what i said is correct.

tbh honest its the first mix and match white one i have seen.

having read the above, i kinda clicked and realised that mine has the white dials etc, registered March 08, i always thought mine was too early (registered) to be a rare facelift. so if mine has the piano black interior and the white needles it will be a face lift and 1 of only 136 in the UK?
