Rattling Exhaust

Post by Mr S »

When my car's cold, my exhaust rattles. Anyone else experience this? Dealer says to pop in so that they can tighten the mountings. Also car was delivered with a couple of fairly big scratches on the door trim (interior), so I'm off to see what they can do about that too...hopefully (for them) they'll sort it out because I don't take "no" for an answer over things like this!

Popped into see the dealer - took a technician for a run, heard nothing (of course) but he agreed to put the car on the ramp and he found a loose bolt, tightened it, and it seems to be sorted - but true test will be tomorrow morning when the car is cold. New door trim on order too, so far I'm impressed with dealer. I've just done 600 miles, and the engine is starting to losen up nicely - this car is begging to be driven!

Albertz33, I'm further west, I'm in Inverness. Are you based in Elgin?
