been working on trying to stop the rattle on the heat guard today... noticed at least 2 blots missing so replaced them but the front wouldnt shhh.. took it too the garage( i couldnt get to it) and the only thing that they could recommend was ripping the heat shield off... i told him to hold his horses while i asked you lot what the long term implications were.. cant be good can it? tho Len did say rip it off.. he just didnt say wether or not to replace :sad:
anyway.. yeaaah poor me eh :evil: im determined mind fair play.. a year ago i wouldnt have even known what a heat sheild was :grin:
its all thanks to you lot and your fab ability to explain nicely
incidently i did the most un feminine thing ive ever done in my life today... when i went to the garage.. its a back st yardy mess type place.... i actually got under the car on the floor and showed him what id already done...
