Replaced Differential and Propshaft

Took the car in for the 2 year brake fluid change after 22,000 miles - no problem. "While it's in" I said, please look at the following:

1. Creaking Drivers Seat when pressing the clutch.
2. Ticking noise from Engine
3. Clunk from rear of car when pulling away.

Since the first trip the car has been back in for:

Trip 2
1. A new drivers sear base - problem cured.
2. Replaced the engine timing chain tensioner - ticking cured.

Trip 3
Replaced the Propshaft - clunk now traced to Diff.

Trip 4 - next week
Replace Diff.

It's not the faults so much (although this is worrying), but the dealer is taking too long to diagnose the faults. Plus, they give me this crappy 120d ES loaner. £20k and you get the worst rubber steering wheel since the 1970's.
