Spotted you Friday eve and then again this morning at apex tyres. Mine was in having new tyres and tracking. Nimbus 197 sporting a roof rack. Think you were picking your mate up with a tracked mk2 golf. Car looked good mate. Normally wouldn't post here, but your number plate is cool haha.

foxspeed. You nailed it. Big washer and it was done. Cheers.

Originally thought it was the exhaust, but tried moving that with the two tail pipes and it's stuff and doesn't rattle

It's the actual hear shield. I can move it with out any effort. It looks like it's come loose at the rear. It's the shield that runs along the centre of the car and is above the single exhaust pipe. Just befor it goes into the back box. I figured I shouldn't remove it haha. I'll have to have a...

Not managed to get the car up on a ramp at work yet, but every bump I go over I'm getting a loud rattle. It's the heat shield as I could just about reach it when lying on the floor and managed to make it wobble and knock. It's the shield that goes above the exhaust and it's rattling towards the...

No brainer indeed. Really bored this afternoon as I'm off work on leave.....the car was just sat there and I know my brothers never had the scuttle off so I thought I'd whip it off and have a look. Glad I did, and even my brother was shocked at the amount of water on the drive way just from...

warmest welcome ive had from any forum. had a good read and already ant to go out and tinker, but wont be mine for a few months haha. i am going out to check the scuttle today though, even if it isnt mine yet lol
