Its an 02 Cup with 26 k on it. Rattle started way before the 1st serice though, just that Renault didnt do f**k all to sort it out when I asked them to at the 12 k service, but then I didnt have time to bring the car back in due to my job, so brought it up at the 25 k service when they flatly refused to do it despite me having a copy of the 12 k service record on which it was stated that the car had the rattle.
Renault are singularly the worst manufacturer I have had to deal with, and I am an old geezer( relatively speaking ).
Thanks for the replies, Ill order the pipe now, and a filter to go with it.
