Wouldn't have thought so, but it will compromise your next MOT I imagine ;)

Means you might have a dodgy start on cold mornings.   Won't effect it greatly, but still have some

Is the noise your talking about that jingling noise in the exhaust tone? ???

It was driving me mad, so I picked up a second hand down pipe, fitted it, switched it on and the noise was still there!!!!!!!!!  Later found out when I was setting up the ignition timing that the noise comes out when your adjusting the distributor!! The exhaust has a great deep tone coming from it now!!!!! ;D
