Hi Guys,

I have finally tracked down the source of another rattle - its the shield just underneath the exhaust manifold. From above, I can only see 1 bolt, and if I lean on the shield near the bold with a screwdriver the rattle stops. I got a 10mm socket on the bolt and it turns, but doesn't tighten up - I'm guessing there a nut on the back that I need to get to from underneath.

So, has anyone had an issue with this before or who can give me some clues on how to get at this shield?

A related question....

I'm certain it will need tackling from underneath so Im off to buy a set of ramps - will I get an S2 (standard suspension) on some standard type ramps or will I need to get the ramp extensions that are sold?

Many thanks

Can't really help with the rattle but I imagine there will be a nut underneath which has either come off or is just spinning with the bolt.

As for the ramps, yes you will need the extensions unless the ramp has a really shallow profile. I certainly need them to get my S up and its on standard height suspension

Thanks, but not sure I understand that - is there something missing?
