Creaking within the steering could be related to any of the steering mechanism joints. I've had that with a different car...steering arm replace. No idea about engine whines.

Welcome to this forum.

On my J11 I had a bush in the steering replaced under warranty after reading about it on here. I don't know whether than affects the J10 in the same way.
