In the meantime, don't park over long, dry, grass.
Not that there's much of either at this time of year.

it will be fine without it, dont need it for mot or anything so wouldnt worry to much about it ,wont make any difference to how your car runs ,might still get a few years out of the exhaust yet ,and if you are worried you could always get wire and wire it back on but i would,nt bother ,less weight more mpg lol
Thanks also, soooo relieved. Like the idea of more mpg lol
I appreciate all your repsonses. Thank you!0 -

just the heatshield from the manifold, nothing majour can refit it using some washers and existing bolts.0

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.0
