Car exhaust heat shield fixing
The heat shield is rattling on the car. I've had a look and 3 of the 4 fixings have come off. It's hard to see but it looks like some sort of push-on fixing. Doesn't look like a nut.
Any ideas what it's called/where to get it?

Re: Car exhaust heat shield fixing
It might help if you were to let us know what car it might be on as I think the org might be short of clarevoiants.

Might be able to get them from GSF or Euro Car Parts.

Cut mine off when it started making the noise.
10k later and it's not caused any probs ; )

Re: Car exhaust heat shield fixing
I've got the same rattle on my Mondeo. Not too annoying so I'm just going to ignore it until service time roll around.
