I am getting a creaking noise from the base area of the drivers seat when driving. Particularly when cornering/turning and this motion imparts a side-to-side loading on the seat (as my weight is being shifted sideways)... Sounds like if might be around the runners etc, but I cannot be sure... Any suggestions as to what we might look at to resolve...?

Any suggestions as to what we might look at to resolve...?From your description, it sounds like you might need a visit to the osteopath! Have you checked all the fitting bolts? I had an issue with one on a former car where it had not be tightened and there was the smallest amount of movement that on laterally loading caused it to make a creaking sound. I tightened everything up and tried again even though it didn't look like it needed it and it resolved it.
Mine got dropped off today, they order a new base for the seat I will let you know if it works, I mentioned a rattle from the dash to them also, a quick drive around the block and they heard both.
Got the car back tonight, the new base has been fitted, all looks well.
