I notice that the mirror adjustment knob seems rather loose and wondering whether there might be a backing nut that might have come undone (or wasn't tightened properly at the factory)?!

No ... that's normal and is part of the design quirks (like bonnet lever on passenger side).

Also the fact that the heater symbol is not in the right spot based on when you turn it on.

Ah, OK thanks - never had to use the heater (below 10Degrees is considered a cold-snap up here)
Strange how VW makes most other things so well, then throws in the odd crappy bit like that (another quirk as you say).

Hi Tiggy1, sounds just like what i had, i tried products on all the rubbers which did nothing, but at my 30000k service they applied a lubricating paste (expensive!) to the door latch/catches which completely resolved the noise. It's kind of like a white-ish drier feeling grease that is still there & working 10000k's later.

Hi MGV,
good idea - sounds like stuff Dad used to use (aircraft mechanic) called "Dri-Lube". I think he might have a stick of it lying around at home so might give it a go.
Cheers
