New Fabia Combi break in period noises?

Hello,

My Fabia (2006 Combi Elegance 1.4 16v manaul) seems to be making some unusual noises for 750km.

When I first start the car, there is a loud turbine sound for a few seconds - sounds like a loud hydraulic pump. Is this the steering pump?

Also, there's a suspension related creak/groan from the front nearside. Think it might be the ARB, but it is not consistent. It comes on after a speed bump or after the suspension has been compressed and released. Could it be a tie rod, ball joint or some other bushing?

releasing the clutch slowly in low gear or driving slowly in a parkade (slight incline) I can hear a rattle from the driver side. Sounds kinda like nails tinkling in can. Could this be a cv?

Is it normal for the brakes to shake a Fabia when you give them a quick jab or forthe car to move back and forth a little at stops? Could this be something loose?

I think I will love my car once I get these early teething pains out of the way.

Thanks,

NR
