The heatshield on the bottom of the catalytic convertor came loose and started dragging on the road, making loads of noise (how many dirty looks!)
When I got the car home, I jacked the car up and pulled the heat shield off, as it was only held on by one corner. It looks like the corners have rusted through.
Is this heat shield a legal / MOT requirement (driving around without it at the moment!) ?
Can I just re-attach it using big jubilee clips (or something similar) or does it need to be welded on?
