    Might be possible to refit it.

    In the meantime, don't park over long, dry, grass.

    Not that there's much of either at this time of year.

    Thanks. :)

    take it to a local garage and ask if they can tack it back on , i tacked loads of heatshields back onto cats when i worked at an exhaust specialists, charged just a couple of quid unless the customer was having something done and then it was free. easy fix.

    I really appreciated your response laurence, but the image of the "cats" had me :rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks for making me laugh, after a worrying time! :T
