I know this'll sound strange, but try some baby wipes.

Right,so I suppose its the lanolin in the wipe thats the magic ingredient......do I wipe it into the crease round the badge and generally just smother it?

Ah, I misunderstood your post, my apologies.  I thought you had a 500 and had a leather-on-leather creaking sound.

Could still be worth a shot, though.  Try to get it in wherever you think the noise is coming from.  An alternative could be a leather feed - making the leather softer/more supple could be enough to stop it.
