Hi Gert Not sure about all of them, but the rear heatshield is held (or not as is usually the case!) by 'springy washers' that are just an interference fit...
Graeme Those washers are, IIRC, called ...darned, I can't remember. Normally I buy this kind of thing by sight and don't have the foggiest notion when someone...

Hi all At risk of being labelled a whinger, or a car abuser, my next question: I just noticed that the rear panel/ section of my boot, where the opening for...
