Exhaust cover...to fix, or not to fix?!
Afternoon all, scooby forum n00b here.
After investigating an increasingly worsening rattle under the beast, the exhaust cover is to blame (rusted through, level with the driver/passenger door on the mid pipe). Nothing on the actual exhaust as yet... and I can put up with the rattle for the moment... but is/when is this likely to cause a problem? Reluctant to put too much effort in as only planning on running the beast until the next MOT but I definitely want it to last until then (Jan '16)! Beast in question is an ever-reliable, used and abused 2001 3l Outback. Thanks in advance! |

I'm asking the above because that is what the guy at the garage told me once we had got it over the pit... Fond of scooby's as I am, I am no mechanic. So I don't know if it has the potential to get worse. |
Somebody with a sense of humour,, :thumb: I hope I won that award I never win anything! :wonder: ok on a serious note, the heat shield may be ok until you sell on but there easy enough to remove if the noise gets too much! :idea:

Penny washer/repair washer may stop it, depends how rotten it is around the fixing points.
