1.5l Diesel K11 Micra/front heatshield rattling solution

[CMF_MicraNut]

Hey all,

Has anyone seen/driven a K11 Diesel Micra? I haven't but i'm tempted to buy one just to see what it's like. I've looked on autotrader UK and other car sales websites but haven't found one!! Tell me what it's like to drive if you've driven one/own one.

p.s. go my timing chain replaced today. The car sounds so quiet now apart from the darn front heatshield rattling! I'm gonna have to use jubilee clips to sort out the heatshield... wait a sec has anyone got any other ideas to shut the heatshield up? ideas welcome!

Cheers,

Ben.

Never unfortunately. I don't hold my expecations high as they're a very simple turbo diesel.

I can't imagine they'd be much cheaper to run than our petrol K11's though.

Take it off
