Handbrake seems to unadjust itself as well, I just get them to tighten it up at every service.Good to hear most of your problems have been fixed.

Get them to remove the heat shields. I'll second that.Hoist your car up, grab some side cutters, and left shoulder em. That will fix the rattle, properly. All sorts of fixes have been tried, and as you can tell, none have been sucessful!With the speeds you do Cro, the amount of air passing under your car keeps the exhaust cold enough anyway! No shielding necessary! :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 21y 11m 13d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 29/05/04 12:15 AM Share Posted 29/05/04 12:15 AM Don't think I would be cutting off heat shielding, especially with the heat the turbo motor generates. From what I hear one Ford approved modifier took heat shields off his extractors and now he's up for cooked steering racks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he could just install a 100 litre water spray for his exhaust. Scotty CCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
