Second one is easily fixed. Take the tin out of the glovebox Or hold the car on 1200 revs when idling.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
lol Simon! No even when i raise my body off seat its still squeaking the seat that is! Googsy

Might be the leather squeaking where it touches / rubs against the seat body - my old D2 had this problem which periodic sprays of GT85 or WD40 cured (depending on which aroma you prefer). Have a look down the sides especially as the seat squab is pushed out when you sit on it.

I am always surprised at the liberal use of vaseline by car owners.....vaseline is actually quite a nasty corrosive substance which degrades rubber & other car materials very quickly given the right conditions.... the only place this substance should be used in a car is on the battery terminals..... 2007 TDV6 HSE 'Silver Lady'.
