Rattling cat heat shield on V6 exhaust
« on: 01 December 2008, 11:18:02 »

It isn't affecting the performance of the car but is irritating.

I seem to remember reading on the forum that a jubilee clip would do the job. On mine I can't see that that would work as rust has eaten away the rear end of the heat shield a bit , better might be a metal object  wedged inside.

Anybody else had this problem and what did you do please?
