Right... Still got 3 months parts & labour warranty with the car, so building a quick 'list' for them to sort... unless anyone knows of any fixes for these please let me know as I'd rather sort them myself if possible...
1) Steering sometimes when cold for first 1/2 turn can 'sometimes' be noisy, like a brief screech. Car has PAS
2) When have main lights on, if I indicate, sometimes full beam flickers on & off briefly. Also can sometimes just come on on its own & i have to waggle the light stalk to get it to go off.
3) Drivers-side windows winds only 3/4 way down when its dry/warm, but if cold/wet goes all the way. Has electric windows.
4) Drivers-side mirror doesnt always work when I try to adjust it, but it will heat up when I press the lil button. Has electric mirrors.
5) Centre console lights dont light up... (I can probs sort myself, but is just the ball-ache of dismantling the dash)
6) External temp probe dont work (--.- displayed on dash)
7) 'Slight' vibration through the wheel @ 60mph+, but could just be wheel needs balancing.
Other than that, nae too bad a car!

aye scrappy might nip down one night after work, probs friday!
P/S... is it common?? ie, well known by Vaux? What is the fix, new system or just new fluid you reckon?
White LED's... Will have to sort the rest out then on all the dash to match  Best supplier?
Sensor - again scrappy...
Balancing & tracking, reckon I can get the dealer to sort this considering I've now done 160miles??

P/S could be just air in the system, keep turning the steering wheel side to side for a while and see if air bubbles come up in the res

when running
dosent matter if its jacked or not
the squcking normal is the pump under pressure or air in the system.
so if your saying its only on 1/2 turn then can not be under stress off full lock (unless pump is on its way out) then its got to be air in the system

If its the pump, least its under warranty still!
