Valerian 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Hi chaps I notice there is a heat shield fitted on the back of my C just above the rear exhaust silencer. Is this standard? Only it seems to be loose and rattles about. I assume it's there to shield the petrol tank from heat .....has anyone discarded theirs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted March 25, 2006 Don't get rid of it!!! - any decent exhaust place should be able to cure the rattle in minutes... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serial 0 Posted November 12, 2007 I just noticed a loud rattle coming from the back of my VR... the heat shield above the back box has come loose. I guess I'll have to get a new one because it looks like the mounting holes in the shield have corroded through completely.... Anyone know of a good way of stopping it rattling for the time being, it sounds like I'm dragging a load of tin cans around! :lol: T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serial 0 Posted November 12, 2007 Could do... I'm guessing that as it's there, it must need to be there though? Or can I get away without having one at all...? T Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackflash 0 Posted November 13, 2007 I don't have mine on at the moment, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't necessarily be there... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can probably supply a second hand one. Would want you to collect it though as I imagine posting it would be a pain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
