Hi,

I have a 7yr old car, the exhaust is vibrating like mad and is noisy when I
am still, sounds ok when I am driving.. could I have lost a clip or
something??

It could be a missing mounting (usually a shaped bit of rubber) causing the
exhaust to rattle against the car. Probably is. Take it to your local
exhaust fitters and ask nicely, they will fit a new one for a few pounds.
Quick job.

The less likely alternative, since it's quiet when going, is that an
internal baffle has come loose and is rattling, in which case you either
have to put up with it or get a new exhaust (or section of, depends on the
car).

You are right... 3 of those rubber thingys are missing.. gonna buy some
today £1.99 each.

Turns out that the loose exaust has a crack we tried the steel putty, calmed
it down a bit but it needs a new back box. MOT is due next month a week
before the baby!

Take the exhaust replacement - it's cheaper than a baby!!!!
