Heat plate

[admc6]

My heat plate above the cat has started to vibrabing recently and its starting to annoy me.
Would it matter to much if i just took it off?
and Is it easy to do?

[Len]

Any heatshield plate above any part of the exhaust should be kept in place!
You need to secure it back.

Whats the best thing to use to do that?

[Len]

There should be studs on the underside of the body and the heatshields are attached to these by metal push on discs.
If your discs have fallen off I guess the only place to get them will be a main dealer.

or a scrappy maybe.

Worth checking to be sure, i thought mine was wrattling, it was actually the guard that runs under neath the cat.

Thanks for the help. I will have a good look later. I do have a couple of those disks at home, my mates dad uses them for his work so they are easy to come by

nah, rip the fecker off, just don't park on any grass. The only way you'll get the thing to stay on is if you weld it, as the studs will all be mushy with rot.

I had a look for this, but couldnt find anything obvious. All seemed secure. The only thing i can think of is that its coming from the exhaust down pipe but i'm not sure what there could be causing it.

Any ideas?

[Len]

If it turns out to be the one under the CAT then as Bazzer says just rip it off! And dont worry about parking on grass! Ripped mine off years ago and parked on long grass loads of times!

I get a wrattle that sounds like its under the cat . Wierd thing is mine only does it at 2000 rpm. Does get annoying though i had a look and the shield isnt loose, would a dodgy cat vibrate ?
