So they'd be the ones you see advertised as 'Dealer Demo' with several thousand kays on them? I always assumed those sorts of cars were driven by the salesman, not staff in HQ.

You would want to try and get into one that belonged to a HQ staff as we look after our vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its started developing a knocking noise when you go around corners and the tighter the turn, the louder the knock. I had a drive and at full lock going really slow every time it 'knocks' it sounds like its coming from the rear half of the car. The noise is like when you overtighten a lid on a bottle and it 'clicks' and goes back a thread and you have to retighten it. It's like that over and over again.Am I right in thinking there's an issue with the LSD? It's definitely not steering as I've had that in other cars, you can't feel this through the steering and it happens even on slight corners, it just doesn't 'knock' as often.
