That's me - thanks, I think you're right. Sometimes it isn't obvious but as Joe240 says, there are often things happening behind the scenes.

Take it no one else has had any clicking noises from the roof?
I get a bit of noise from that area but I think it's just the plastic housing creaking. It seems worse when the weather's cold, which suggests it's down to things shrinking a bit and not fitting as tightly as when it's warm.
