The curious case of the mystery rattle.

[Zinfandel]

So the Puma had a bit of a rattle on cobbles or when it hit a bump. Prodding my head underneath has let of to what I believe is the heat shield over the cat.

Now next week I'll be putting her on axle stands to change the silencer (please god let that go ok!) so I thought I'd use the chance to try and fix that. Does anyone know if it should be screwed in or if it's just a case of bonding it/fixing it to something?

I did the pollen and air filter today. Got the fuel and oil filters for when I'm feeling a bit braver

Many thanks!

IIRC it's quite common for the heat shield to degrade around the bolt that holds it on sometimes...I must admit I didn't fix mine myself but the garage didn't have any trouble so I presume it was simple
