rattling tin sorta noise?

[dajones]

mainly when pulling off, checked the heatshields but they seem pretty solid. its gotten worse over the past few days

is this a 182??

if sooo...check under the car where the exhaust joins the manifold (at the front) the bit that hangs lower...

check the spring attachments that hold the exhaust together..

if one has perished it will rattle like f**k under acceleration...eventually the exhaust will start to blow as the two sections get further apart..

No its a 1.2 16v

(i didnt even know 1.2s needed heat shields)

^ ye, every car has a heat shield for the exhaust(exhaust tunnel)

Tbh I was thinking about them springs. Just need to get the car in the air to look. Tis not the heatshield as they seam pretty solid to me
