    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    I think thats what I was looking at. The bolts are knackered though.

    Car Park Incident - Front Bumper Respray

    I just got two quotes. £165-£180 to reshape the splitter, remove the bumper to pull the wing out, and a respray of that corner and £220-£280 for repair and a complete respray of my entire front bumper and splitter. Thoughts?

    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    Bear in mind the only thing I know how to change on a car (mechanically) is the Air Filter (I had a K&N on my 206 before)

    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    I don't know where the drive shaft is haha. Is it the fat piece near the bottom of the exhaust. I found something thats similar with 3 bolts.

    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    Car is jacked up. Is it the piece, near the centre of the car, about 6 inches behind the front tyres? Nevermind, the bolts are too old to take off manually like that. I'll just drop it into my local garage and ask them to do it. The bolts are in a terrible state.

    Ok buddy. Well at least I know now I shouldn't be worried about jacking it up higher. Thanks

    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    Thanks. I was worried about raising it too high, as in most cars the wheels tends to lift but mine wasn't budging so I didn't want to do any damage. Where abouts is the Heatshield? I was looking around the front drivers side tyre. But everything under the car is just... black.

    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    Couple of questions; 1) When you jack the EP3 up is it usual for the tyre to take a while before it actually lifts off the ground? 2) Is there a better description or could someone possibly take a photo of the heatshield? My eyes are poor. Thanks

    Insurance costs for people under 25

    I just went to Admiral and they quoted me 2k? 5 NCB, 22 years old, living in a quiet part of Derbyshire, what the hell?!

    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    Just out of curiosity, what is the heatshield for? I mean if you can remove it without any reprecussions, it seems redundant, like a human apendix.

    Vibration/rattling noise at 3-4k? Drive shaft heat shield

    I have a rattle around 2.5k RPM. Could this be a heatshield issue, or are the revs too low?

    Buzzing Sound Between 2-2.5k RPM

    Hi guys, I own a 2004 EP3 Type-R, I've had it for a little over a year and it has developed this rather disconcerning buzzing sound from the engine when I rev between 2k and 2.5k approx. through every gear. Now my neighbour, self-elected car expert, said since my car has done 65k that the...

    New EP3 Owner

    Hi guys, New EP3 owner as of Saturday. 55k on the clock, 1 previous owner who has kept it in fabulous condition. Any fittings you would suggest? Also, my friend (owner of an EK9) has the same issue, with the windows, they go down fine but not always back up is this a common issue?
