Occassionally get a creak sound from back end if for instance reversing into drive and on a bit of an angle or manouvering slowly on a twisty bit of road, i.e. camber a bit off from front to back. Is it doughnut bushes perhaps starting to go?

Probably.

Does it feel slightly disconnected as you throw it through a series of bends?

Hard to tell as not much experience driving one with good bushes, plus im a fairy when i drive. It does feel a bit choppy on a long s bend on one of the back roads i frequent, but it's an omega so not expecting porsche handling!

Only hear it when at parking speeds, likeluly wont hear any noise at speed.

has similar thing, turn'd out to be the door catches need adjusting. so did all 4. no sounds now. might be the same thing. don't know why but the pass side rear one was rusted on the underneath all others were fine and it was not rusted on the paint work, cleaned it up and painted just the back see if that sorts it no other rust or anything.

In what did they need adjusted? I have checked the catches in case loose as had that with other cars.

The catch or the arena wears out and you just adjust it a little bit so the door fits better unde the two trox screws tap it a little till it moves a bit. Noticed on mine that you could push the doors a fair bit when they closed. Now don't move that much and no creaking and cracking sounds.

Got it, your just pulling the doors in a bit tighter to account for age/wear etc. I'll have a look at mine see how they are.
