Some advice please.
The heatshield around the cat on SWMBO's 98 Civic 1.4i SE is rattling out a right old tune.
Took it to local spannerman who said the welds had gone but that since it was still bolted on elsewhere it was unlikely to fall off. He said he couldn't do anything because a repair required specialist welding, so unless I wanted to shell out just live with it and turn the radio up.
Had conflicting conversations about a cost-effective fix, so any suggestions?

My old 414 used to do this (not sure of your one)but plate was held on by four screws/bolts,I took them off and put washers on plate didnt rattle after that.
but didnt notice any welds,But mine a rover not Honda so could be wrong??

They do not like welding cats, stange high cromium metal. Silver solder and siffbronze works if they can get the surfaces clean enough I've done several. Regards Peter

Break the other welds and remove the heat shield.
Done loads and never had a problem.
Just don't park on a stubble field after a hard thrash!
