Richf Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 You can remove it many do, or secure it with wire or jubilee clips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I had one removed from last 370 for this reason. It won't cause any problems if you remove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It's probably best to make sure we're all discussing the same thing here. When I had a rattle, the offending part was the thin silver aluminium shield that sits near the exhaust muffler. The whole shield wasn't removed - Tom at TGM in Fleet removed the section that sits at a right angle to the underside of the car by grinding a couple of rivets off. The section of shield protecting the underside of the car remained. He assured me the section he removed wasn't serving any useful purpose. I would take his advice any day of the week. I ran the car for another couple of years with no issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
