I have a "T" reg Honda Shuttle still on original exhaust. The problem I am having is that the heat shields are "rattling" very
loudly at certain revs more so on starting.
Can I use something like Sikaflex to "repair" the fixings ? will it be able to stand the heat or will it just burn.
Dont want to replace exhaust system as its still OK and will get rid when youngest leaves Uni in couple of months.
thanks.
just tie it up with some copper wire ?
Are you sure it is the heat shield? I had a similar rattle on my Discovery. Land Rover said it was a heat shield but it later turned out that the
ceramic core of the catalytic converter that had had collapsed, blocking the exhaust!
Take the heat sheild off and cover the exhaust with exhaust wrap.
I'd be tempted to try gunking them on with exhaust goo 
but it could still be the cat having destroyed itself. Measurable amounts of platinium on the roads now due to cats destoying themselves...
Over here they use road salt heavily it's really common for exhaust and cat shields to rust loose. Common fix is to wrap a long stainless jubilee
clamp (I've seen them up to a meter long) around the shield a couple of turns. Most of the auto parts stores carry them but they can be had
cheaply at industrial hydraulics shops.
