Hi All,

In desperate help...........

driving home from work today, and a noise started, I have no idea what it is,

I've attached a quick sound clip,
I'm praying it's TCT or cat.........

I started a new job Monday and need this car to get to work........

hope some one can help diagnose

I cant load the file mate. Discribe the noise... if its a nagging sound.... its a wife.... simple exchange job done.... lol.

it's like metal rattling,

It says it's private Graham!

baldii

try it now

baldii

it sounds louder near the exhaust mani - to my ear

anyone///

AlexGJ248

Sounds like it could be a heat shield rattle. I had to replace a bolt on mine the other week.

baldii

as in CAT heatshield???

I just ordered a Berk HFC yesterday, so that would be ok

I'm just worried, if I should drive it

AlexGJ248

Yes mate, it would be good if you could get underneath it and have a root around, it's fairly obvious when you have bolts missing, if u haven't got any missing then start knocking all along the exhaust and you should find the source of the rattle.

baldii

think I found it.........

I fitted a ETD about a month ago, and just found the bracket on the engine is loose !!!!.....

if you give it some wiggle it knocks on the Mani heatshield,

i'll tighten it back up, and see how it is tomorrow, and at the weekend i'll get a spring washer and locktite to secure it a bit better

god, I hope thats all it is.
