    rattling exhausts. when you stop in traffic people look around for the banger/death trap with the squeeking banging exhaust lol (that was me just over a month ago)

    i told everyone the squeeking was my 'charger

    Yep, exhaust for me too. Currently leaking from somewhere 'up for'ard', worsening quite fast. They should ban exhausts, think of the reduction in emissions...

    i'd agree with a rattly heat shield..

    my most annoying noise was on my mk1. above 60mph something in the dash used to scream until i whacked the dash. it would stop.. & then start again..

    it used to do it for a week or so every 6 months. never did find out what it was. [8-}]

    The squeaky creaky noise my skoda fabia dashboard makes, they all do it apparently I must follow one of the guides and pack some foam in the dash mounting points.

    its not made a sound (rattle sound) for a couple months now. it took two attempted to get it on right.

    i had to 'persuade' a couple shields out of the way, but it wasnt a problem. id never be able to hear anything thats on its way out now.

    do you have the contact details (or even the name) of that place near you that did the exhaust manifolds?

    My exhaust banging on the rear beam due to the rear hanger snapping. It's so bloody loud and embarrasing.
