Hello folks - just wondered if any of you had experienced this little minor annoyance which I have noticed develop over the last month or so.

The seat back on my driver's seat appears to have developed a slight creak as I put my weight on the right hand back bolster. Most apparent when turning right and when not wearing a jacket! I think perhaps I hadn't noticed this in the winter months as the bulk of my body & the jacket was probably in full contact with the seat back - but due to warmer weather I no longer wear a jacket when driving to and from work. So my back is not always in full contact with the seat back. Now I know that I could endeavour to correct my seating position but just wondered if anybody else had experienced the same thing.

I had something similar with my 156 which had Recaro seats as part of the Veloce Pack which gave you an adjustable lumber support which involved turning a knob on the side of the seat to 'inflate' a diaphram inside the seat to provide lumber support. When this creaked I simply reversed the diaphram setting and it went away - when it inevitably returned again I simply reversed the setting.

Oh, and by the way I only weigh 12 1/2 stone so I don't need to lose weight I think.

Not quite the same but my driver's seat, after nearly 2 years, has suffered from carrying my 18 stone (down in recent months from 19 stone). I have to set the height adjustment at its highest setting to prevent an unacceptably large gap between the seat back and the squab.

My drivers seat is creaking a little bit now but it's not too bad. It give the car character. I'm 13 stone and the car is 54 plate / 23000 miles down the line..

Hi mate,
Mines a 1.2 Dynamic and I have exactly the same problem and in the same position!
If I adjust the seat back angle it goes away for a few mins, but then its back!
Havent really had a chance to look at it yet,
Andy

Thanks Andy...I'll let you know if I find out anything further about it.

I have this problem with the passengerseat.When i drive on a bad road with someone on the seat in hear an annoying sound from under the seat.

LOL......that makes it the same side seat then Dennis.

no problems here, im 15 stone and have the seat on the lowest (bucket-like) setting

talk about shooting myself in the foot, mine's started creaking now, sounds like plastic to me
