In what respect? Interior in mine is fine... No creaks or squeaks anywhere and everything fits well.

Where do I start ? dashboard creaking, rattling door pins, rattles from headlining, rattling drivers door handle, rattles from cheap flimsy loose fitting black oak dash and that's just what I remember. As your car is a Cowley built 75 I do believe that these were of a better quality than the later project drive cars like my 2005 contemp se. I remember sitting in Astreus Cowley built 2.0 V6 and straight away the difference in quality was noticeable. All of the above were one of my main reasons for getting shot of it, simply couldn't be bothered with it in the end.

Yup... She's a Cowley and heading for her 20th birthday. None of those problems with mine, about the only creak i get is if the leather from the seats rubs against the cubby hole cover which is no big deal. I can only assume most of the issues are caused by project drive deletions.

I had a 53 plate ZT that had just shy of 140k on the clock when I moved it on. Can't recall any squeaks, rattles or other noises from the interior trim.

The diesel 'Urge' can be quite addictive but i don't think it feels quite so much in an auto i borrowed recently even though the speedo proved it to get up to speed just as nicely

I'm not saying that they all do but certainly things like the dash not fitting the vents quite so nicely are noticeable and the reduction in soundproofing can't help.

I suspect most of those that do squeak and rattle have been in bits for some reason.

The later non metal backed dashboards are well known for creaking, door pins rattling are common (Though easily fixed) The door handles shouldn't squeak or rattle though!
