Think it's possibly this one

Thank you, indeed, this is the one I refer to.

I took the car in to Renault for another problem and mentioned the noise from the dash. They said it was because the air-con needs regassing and they could do it for £91. I said I’ll take it to a local outfit that will do it for a £50. I’ll report back when I get it done.

I find it veeeery hard to believe that the plastics creaking noises are associated with the cause they gave you...
Unless I miss / do not understand something.

Good luck, I hope your problem goes away anyway.

The noise is from behind the dash not the cheap plasticky creak from the trim. I described it as crackly but it’s more of a flickering sound. A previous post suggested it could be the fan fouling on a label that’s become unstuck, which sounds very feasible. However, on checking the air-con, it definitely needs regassing anyway so could solve the issue.

£50 for the newer gas required is VERY cheap. I'd expect that for R134a. However, the newer HFO-1234yf, (R1234yf) needs different equipment and costs the companies almost double. I'd check to see what they are going to fill it with.
