We noticed today the car is making a squeak sound as the front wheels come down off a speed bump. Going to keep eye on it but wanted to ask if anyone else noticed the same?

Does not do it on road imperfections or going round corners. If it carries on will have dealer inspect.

Way you just described that mate squeaking as wheels come down after hitting a speed bump dont you think your road testing probably at the limit now lolSeriously though ive not heard any rattles or squeaks yet might be as cars still tight or i slow down at humps lol (sorry serious face back on)From what you say though it sounds maybe on dampers / shock asorbers maybe if you can get front end jacked up things should be visable maybe a dry rubber seal?

I have no idea what to look for Daz. I doubt it is serious but if it carries on I will book it in at dealers. Do not think it did it before and just started at 900 miles

Cheers Daz, its coming from right side and it may well stop while bits loosen up. Not fussed really as like you say easy for dealer to look at and sort I imagine
