Alpine A110 owners
Discussion
My A110S bucket drivers bucket seat squeak/creaks when I’m sat in it driving and it absolutely drives me mad.
Alpine had it to fix and whatever they did only lasted one day and it’s now returned even worse.![frown](/inc/images/frown.gif)
If I lean forward in the seat the noise stops but as soon as I lean back into the seat the noise is evident and even worse on uneven bumpy roads.
I know it’s a common issue and wondered if any owners had fixed it themselves and what the procedure was please?

You could ask to speak to the technician who worked on your car, to ask what he did which temporarily helped. Alpine had it to fix and whatever they did only lasted one day and it’s now returned even worse.

You could also have someone sit in the seat and replicate while you listen where exactly it's coming from, of course this could be difficult given the size of the car. I've found squeaks in previous cars by creating the noise and feeling with my hands where the sound/vibration is coming from.
With the bucket seats the rails are the only mechanical parts, although one possibility we've come across is the leather squeaking against the fibreglass shell, in both cases lubrication helps. Another possibility is the 'Batman' insert behind the shoulder blades.

I'm inclined to think you are right and Alpine will focus on markets not subject to the 1500 car cap. The UK has signed up to the GSR regs, but it's not at all clear to me whether that just means they will limit the non-GSR cars produced in the UK to 1500 or whether that will apply to EU cars too (which would be a bummer for UK buyers - but great for existing owner's residuals).
Are Alpine not finishing production of the A110 completely soon? Or did I mishear/misread this? I thought the super special car Ocon was seen testing was basically a final model send off?W111AAM said:

It is supposed to be just that, an ultimate ICE edition. However it's not due to be released until the end of 2025, after which I'd imagine the A110 would be available for another year or so alongside.The A290 isn't being made in Dieppe, so I don't think the A110 will cease production until the fully electric A110 begins.
I know occasional fogging rear light is a common problem on the A110 but has anyone else experienced a permanently fogged up light?
Mine has been like this for a 4 months now, I had hope warmer temps would see it clear up, but sadly not and I do not jet wash the car.
Any solutions apart from a new light?
The car is coming up on 5 years old now
