    Ahh yea that metal coat thing is some kind of protector/heat shield. It's thin metal, and often vobrates annoyingly if it loses it's little screw's. One appears missing on one above so I suggest you do it up Coops with another nut and bolt or use one off the duff d/p to secure.

    Vobrate? I mean 'vibrate'. The keys on my keyboard have worn out, damn G15 Logitech keys...

    Will everyone hate me when I say I've had none of these problems with mine?

    These clios must plan these things - mine snapped in EXACTLY the same place yesterday!

    Knew it had a blow that was getting slightly worse - didn't look at it and assumed it was from the cat after the engine swap. I was literally on the way to my unit to have a look and sort it out. Then all of a sudden heard a bang and the car sounded like a tractor. Damn thing started scraping on the floor.

    An hour later, after a mate came to my aid with some cable ties, got it back to my unit.

    Took me about 3 1/2 hours to swap it all - luckily had the complete valver setup. Gonna get the willy downpipe welded up though - should be ok then. Fair play i well saw my arse with it! Can't believe yours looks absolutely identical. Must be a common problem?
