Rattling Jimny

I've been putting up with a particular rattle for awhile now (well about 2 days) but its now really starting to bug me everytime i drive.

When my Jimny reaches over 3000 revs it begins to make a rattling noise, it does it whilst in motion and whilst stationary. I've had someone else rev poor little jimny and i cannot see anything that is loose, my first thought was that its exhaust was loose but after a breif investigation ive ruled that out (for now)!!

Any suggestions?

Cheers

what sort of rattle

does it sound like

1.) a couple of 5 pences in a tin

or

2.) a rattle snake

or something else

if it's 1.) it's almost certainly the heat shield around the cat - simply grind the bolts and rip it off, doesn't do any harm

yeah it sounds like the 1. for sure!

its been getting right on my tits!

its as simple as that? are you not able to remove the bolts correctly, without the use of powertools i mean Mummy says im not allowed to use powertools without adult supervision hahaha

thanks for your super quick reply!

i'll let you know how i get on, im gonna get it off now!

Penny to a pinch of sh** it is the heat shield around the cat (I'm more of a dog person anyway).

If you can't get it off, I had problems, I rammed a 99p exhaust bandage inbetween the cat and the shield. Worked a treat!

It,ll definitely be the heatsheild on the cat, I've got a bit of this round mine, buckle at the top to stop it catching.
from fleabay or your local motor factor/accessory shop.

Ooh, never thought of that. Very tidy Johnnie

The heatshield is the silver tin cover, I drilled through mine and self tappered it to the flange on the catalyst at the front

I've got the same problem. So ripped heat shield off and it still there. It's coming from inside my cat so time for new one

I had one of the thermal protections fall a while ago, it's this one:

2nd one came off during this weekend's playing:

I call it shedding

Ha, Ha. That made me laugh.
