   Right then first problem is I've got a creeky front suspension, it creeks like I don't no what going over normal road surface? Any body had this problem before? I'm thinking it might be the top strut bearings as when I re-done my front suspension the top bearings on both sides split in half? Could this be the answer?
   
   Second problem is I've got creeky gears, it only creeks when the engine is up to temprature, I got a grifiths quickshift on it, in the gear linkages, its also a little bit hard to get in gear when the engine is cold. Could some up rated gear linkages and grease the ball bits fix these problems?
   
   All sugestions and experiences with these problems all listened to!

   I had a similar problem to the first bit where was on about the creeky suspension on mine did it all the time on every road surface it was the drop links that was causing it, they had dried up inside I popped some grease in for a week, the noise went But replaced them after that for ones from Citroen been fine since then might be worth checking them if your car has them.
