On another note, anyone got any idea why she is creaking from back when she settles after being switched off? TIA.
It could be the handbrake. A lot of cars do it. As the sus drops the angle of the arm changes at the rear and can force the handbrake a little.

Mine creaks if I adjust the height with the handbrake on and in park. Much smoother in neutral and no handbrake. As long as you're not on a hill :)
 
Lots of hills around here 🙈 She only recently started creaking from rear when the air suspension is settling after parking up.
Did it start after you had the brakes done? My handbrake was crap but the local indi fitted new discs and pads and got it working properly. What about if you just stick it in park without the handbrake until it's settled?
 
Improved my fuel economy by fixing a leaking feed pipe to the HP fuel pump, 2 hours removing the intake manifold tightening a jubilee clip and putting it back together. Would have been quicker if I'd had cake. My drive will appreciate it as well (not cake obv)
Oh and fitted the new battery :)

New battery looks much better when cranking

Is the handbrake on the wheel? As the car changes height there's bound to be a little rotation on the axis where the axle would be.
