If there is a creaking floorboard noise from the front it means the steering rack is f**ked.£1700 to fix!

Always check the oil every week too as they like the taste of it.

I suggest you go to the CTR Owners forum and have a read.

Here's a link to a thread which is a buyer's guide but you'll need to register (free) before you can read it.
