Title: tapping noise
Post by: beast5680 on April 22, 2007, 20:24:26
you know when your driving along and there,s a tapping noise you just can't put your finger on :?
it starts to become a sort of metaly clanking noise after a while and still you rack your brains as to what it could be :?:  heaven forbid of course you take your wife,s advise and pull over to see whats wrong :lol:
so after a few hard jabs on the braked followed by acceleration and a bit of weaving about to see if it gets worse you hear one more loud clanking and it stops :D




Then in the rear view mirror you see the car behind swerve round your rear silencer :oops:  which has finally fell off :roll:

flippin landys something else to fix now

My rear box fell off when I was going round the M25. I was not aware of it, even though I was pulling out for an overtake, checking the mirror and noticed lots of cars swerving around behind me!
The first thing I knew about it was getting home and having a raging headache!

As an after thought to this topic? I've seen a piece of exhaust pipe to replace the centre box. Is there any benefit to this, namely better fuel economy, more horses etc etc?
