ok...

Honda Civic Type R 07 plate.

Been fine with no issues, had the MOT done at start of May and they replaced the gaitor shaft.

engine now has a rattle when i start to get around the 50-60mph speed.... not had chance to get back down the garage yet (new job eating my time) but aside from an annoying rattle there appears to be no issues at all. On the odd occasion there is no rattle.

Best way to describe the sound is like a loose screw in a empty can....

Ive had a quick look under the bonnet but cant see any loose parts, if i give the radiator a shake i can almost recreate it but not knowing much about cars.......

any advice?

cheers

Actually the stereo on normal is enough to hide the noise and im not someone who chavs around with stupid bass blaring out....

Heat shields can come loose, around the exhaust manifold and i think there is one near the drive shaft.
Usually solved by either taking them off or putting a bigger washer on.

Hopefully an easy question to answer (he says)

My mother wants to know what's the name of the sealant that garages use to hold the tyre to the wheel rim of a car?

When she uses her lawnmower (driveable) on making a turn a tyre comes loose occasionally

Tell her to slow down turn the turbo down a bit LOL

It's usually known as Bead Sealer. Examples at:

XTRA SEAL TYRE BEAD SEALER | eBay

Bead Sealer 950ml

Don't want to do that, might get a early bequest

Hi,

My Laguna has started to whiff a bit of petrol.  Had a quick look under the bonnet and no obvious leaks but this part is a bit wet and does smell a touch of petrol - anyone know what it is?

(Note - this isn't my car but a vid I found online of the same engine)
