Another snag that I'd like to fix on my car, I've had it over a year now and covered a few thousand miles without any real issues.

This creaking from the low speed movements via the steering wheel, are something I'd like to sort!

I think its replacement top mounts that are required

Can anyone help with recommendations on which parts to use?

I've found some on ebay (although most look like cheap tat!)

I'd like to find original Toyota parts or some decent branded OEM equivalent

A good start would be the actual part numbers and that way I can find them easier via ebay / online car parts places

When I enter my reg on euro car parts it comes up as another model (avensis or corolla or something lol)

Cheers

Top mounts are the kinds of parts that came out of the general Toyota parts bin, like A-arms and shocks.

@Carolyn   Have I not seen you suggest packing some grease in to check this?

Yes, wash out with petrol first, then pack with grease.  It won't always do the job, but often will.
