Nissan Micra Heat Shield

[quote:2277b0a710="stuartgood24"]Hi, I am wandering if anyone has had this problem before, the heat shield on my nissan micra 1997 is rattling and i was wandering what the best solution would be? can i simply just pull it off? can i simply tighten it? if so what should i be tightening and also looking for? not 100% on car repair thats all! any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance[/quote:2277b0a710]

Hey Stuart,
Technically it should stay on. If you can tighten it Great!. If its all rotted/rusty where it bolts then get an extra large hose clamp or put 2 or 3 together, rap it around the heatshield and tighten it that way. This will eliminate the rattle.
