I know this is very hard to advise on, but any clues would be very much appreciated.

My W210 has developed an annoying creak coming from the dashboard area right in front of the driver, its not the binacle, it's not where the door trim touches the dashboard side. It tends to be heat related, ie if the weather is cold there is no creaking, when the weather warms up it starts to creak - also it only does it when turning left or right, no noise in a straigh line and when going over bumps.

It would seem to be a leather creak, I have tried squirting silicone where I can, but to no avail. Can someone post a picture showing how the dasboard is secured to the body, maybe if I were to loosen it off, spay some more lubricant and re-tighten it may help.

Any other advise welocme - thanks

One thing is where the steering column comes through the bulk head engine side there is a boot that needs greasing

nothing else listed

Just in case anyone else has this irritating problem I seem to have sorted it - I loosened the dash where I could and squirted silicone spray between the windscreen and the top part of the dash re-tightened and no more creaking :D:D
