Makes sense I guess. Still it does not sound good and sort of bugs me.

I wonder if the car did it when it was new? (I only bought mine a year
ago so I can't say except that it has been like that since day one).

Actually come to think of it I bought mine a year ago on the day!

It has been a good year. Something like 6000 miles and just $10.000
running costs so I'm a happy motorist :-)

Kind regards
