I need about 20 of the f*cking thinks! All the way from cat to tailpipe fell off!  They seem to be a universal PITA on everything under the sun. I reckon almost 99% of all the repair washers I've ever fitted to cars has been to back these things up around the massive hole that has rotted at every fixing!! |

And then the wretched stud in the floorpan snaps off flush with the metalwork!!!  I had one Mercedes that came in every time for a rattling heatshield, the only fix in the end was to remove the thing completely from the nearside of the car, and leave an advisory note in the boot to the effect that the shopping (i.e. the ice-cream) should not be carried on the nearside of the compartment near the wheelarch......For a couple of months I was paranoid that the car would melt and catch fire, then I realised we're talking the Hebrides here, so not really an option...........  |
