Good idea, but it won't help on the torn part where the exhaust mount plate is located - I can only see that getting worse. On top of that I'm still unsure as to where the 3.5k rattle is coming from. The best I can liken it to (don't laugh) is an angry rattle snake. Could again be the heatshield...

Right, I've found and fixed (temporarily) the 2k rattle! It was the rear head shield. One of the securing nuts towards the rear had managed to shear through the heat shield completely and part of it had also sheared where one of the exhaust mounts was located. The temporary fix was simply to...

I thought that might be it at first, but after having a friend listen behind the car it doesn't appear to be the case. Always difficult to tell with these things, but the noise seems to be loudest from inside the car. Only one way to know for sure, under the car tomorrow!

Thanks for all the replies. Still not sure on the 3k ish rattle and it's deffinately not down to the lambda sensor wire as that's been sorted. I'm not too worried about it as another louder, more serious rattle has started around 2k! On the plus side, I've identified the 2k rattle as the rear...

I've checked the heatshield above the backbox and nothing seems to be moving about. I did think about removing it to be sure, but thought there may be negative effects. Hoolio - how long have you been running without it?

Hi all, I don't post much on here, but I thought there would be a higher number of Orbisoud exhaust owners here than on CS. I'm after a bit of feedback on the exhaust systems. I've had mine on the car for quite a few months and considering the price of the system I've got to admit I was...

Make sure you get wheels that originated from Renault - they are stamped with Renault logos and have an offset you can't generally get from other suppliers. I bought a set of 4 from Whitehouse, I'll check how much they were tonight.

Doesn't look much like a production ready road car to me. Bonnet pins and a roof mounted air scoop? Much more like a racing version in a similar vein to the Clio Cup racer...

They do indeed, they see the reflection and relieve themselves thinking it's water under them. I heard this ages ago, but I truely can't see many birds having a social consience. Anyone know someone with a car with a matt finish that doesn't get shat on?

What's the rating on the side of your Kumho's K20A, K60A, K??A - help!!

Can anyone tell me which is the soft compound and which is the medium compound of these tyres? Two I have are marked K20A, the other two are marked K60A - and I have no idea which is which!!

Another trick that works is using the sticky side of duck tape. Press the tape over the glue residue and pull off again - do this repeatedly and it'll all go. No messy liquids.

I've recently changed from PF97 to Mintex 1177. The PF's were very aggressive on disks and replacements were required in under 5,000 miles, excellent performance though. The Mintex pads have only just gone on and I've got a trackday on the 10th - so I'll let you know.
