Looking for suggestions here.

I've got an annoying creak coming from the rear left at slow speeds. It's especially apparent when making a tight left, and when going over speed bumps or cobbles.

I had a look while fixing a sticky caliper today, but couldn't find anything a miss. Any ideas?

Spray each suspension component one at a time with WD40 until area isolated i guess

Sounds familiar , get some one standing in the boot bounce the car and listen for the creak , my money would be on a dry rusty end of an ARB drop link, in the first instance you can grease them , long term replace , getting them off can be a bit of a bar steward , according to some , I didn't have much problem and mine were totally fubared. I pulled the dust rubbers back stuffed them full of some high pressure grease and they lasted for another year or so , replaced latter when I refurbished the suspension

I had an annoying creak when I had T1R toe arms fitted - utter shite bearings.

If it's to do with turning, it could well be an ARB bush, drop link, wheel bearing, or potentially the diff.

Gave everything a spanner check and a good lubung. The noise has since gone. Thanks for the help!

Sometimes can be axle spindle nut too, slowly rubbery sounding creak in certain conditions.

Sorry to geg in on this one, I have a creak on the drivers rear side.

It's an intermittant chirp/creak that is relative to the speed I'm going. Also when I am going round a left hander it increases in volume - if I go round a right hander it decreases in volume.

I've changed both rear calipers, discs and pads (applying Cera-tec to the pads - and not the braking surface ) but the noise is still there...

The noise wasn't the only reason I changed discs and pads, but it was why I changed the calipers! Grr!

Any ideas?

Is this a bearing at fault?

I thought it could be, but I've never heard a bearing make this kind of noise before!
