jon smith Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Unless it's directly beneath your fuel tank or pipes. Also protects other low-melting point parts (plastics mainly) beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATHER-SAGE Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi, Seem have a prob with my car, when in low rev's under 2k I get a loud rattling sound, kinda sounds like something is loose.

gunner1980 Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well I had it checked last night and its not the heat shield, they seem to think its something to do with the transmission seen as it only happens after gear changes. Its goin in for a proper check over on Sat. How much would you charge to come and take a look Mick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny11 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 or better still buy this kit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-LEFT-GEAR-SELECTOR-LINKAGE-CORSA-C-COMBO-TIGRA-/230394002457?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35a48d7c19#ht_1753wt_1139 and get a local trusted garage to fitted it, it only takes half an hour if the mechcanic is any good So the kit cost £22 and half hour fitting = £40 ,any garage giving a qoute more then £62 is ripping you off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootsBooster Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 or better still buy this kit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-LEFT-GEAR-SELECTOR-LINKAGE-CORSA-C-COMBO-TIGRA-/230394002457?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35a48d7c19#ht_1753wt_1139 and get a local trusted garage to fitted it, it only takes half an hour if the mechcanic is any good So the kit cost £22 and half hour fitting = £40 ,any garage giving a qoute more then £62 is ripping you off That's assuming the local parts suppliers are the same price as ebay, which from my own experience they usually aren't ( i used to work on cars a fair bit ) and i doubt many garages buy their parts from ebay, or you would be waiting longer to get your car fixed! I think "ripping you off" is a bit harsh, unless it goes way over the £100 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
