Havnt had a chance to look at it yet but quite a tinny rattle starting to come from the middle of my d22, sounds like its coming from somewhere around the area below the gear shift, its getting worse daily , just thought id get some ideas from u guys b4 i look at the weekend, truck performs fine and pulls well, where is the cat and could it be falling apart, coul;d this be the excuse i need to go and get a stainless exaust :lol:

I had the same problem, it turned out to be the 'rings' at either end of the flexi joint had rotted off and were rattling on the exhaust pipe - I just ground them off and all is well.

I cant really explain it any better, but you will know what i mean if you have a look underneath mate. :?

My exhaust mounts were also rusted to bits. I resecured mine using 'standard' exhaust clamps. I drilled out the captive bolt on the steel bracket, and pushed the end of the 'U' clamp part through and bolted up.

Hope this helps

Id say check your heat sheild 1st because i had exactly the same with my nav and found it was just that the sheild had come loose so removed it. No problems since

Mine did the same but i left it too long and the extra strain broke the weld around the flange where the 2 bolt together. Welded the 2 of them up, no probs now.

X2 Did it as a temporary fix earlier this year and haven't had to touch it since :thumbleft:

I fixed the rear bracket just like described above (by oldskoolmark), but I used a better clamp, I drilled a 10.9mm hole and added the clamp, I got this really solid stainless clamp form ebay. I think it I also replaced the rubber hanger(was badly rusted), got that for less than a £5 form Camberley Auto-factors.
