(T) Yet another heat shield thread

Robot · 10-09-2007

You can have it for €25 incl p&p - should save you about €10

But if it's all the same with you I'll send it by surface for that amount

Sit on it robot and you will be able to put it in a jiffy bag and save on the postage

Robot · 10-09-2007

Not my fault that I'm poor. I blame Fiat.

Obviously I'll check the p&p first, but if there's say a €10-15 saving in sending it surface, it would make sense seeing that I'm selling it incl p&p.

You could always give up the heat shield and buy some exhaust wrap ?

docorangepeel · 11-09-2007

Nothing wrong with polishing my manifold heatshield !!!

Or the exhaust boxes. Dont think I will mention cleaning the subframes then.

Let me go get some OUZO for all of us cause I m gonna try changing the damn cover this weekend

PM me your addresses for the OUZO.. might just make it in time.

Exhaust wrap works well - I covered my manifold and it really made a difference!!

Robot · 11-09-2007

Cheers - will look into the wrap if my shield gets any worse, though after I refitted the shield after taking the photos last night it hasn't made a sound - so it'll probably do for now. It looks like sh*te, but...

It's quite obvious Doc............you're girlfriend is not giving you enough attention

:d Hhehhhehe :d

LittleRedB · 20-09-2007

Thanks Robot - fitted the shield in about 5 mins flat last night and makes a big difference, couple with the exhaust wrap it's bought down the temperature under the bonnet even further - plus it looks great 'cos its all shiny and new!!!!

sjladopoulos · 20-09-2007

LRB, how did you manage to get the bottom screw out? did you lift the car? details pls!! I m stuck there

LittleRedB · 20-09-2007

Yup - jacked the front of the car up and used a pair of mole grips.......... totally destroyed the nut getting it off but replaced it with an 8mm steel-lock nut. Careful though, I slipped and almost shoved the mole grips through the radiator.........

If you pay for the flight's I'll pop over and give you a hand!!!!
