This is mine on my first car, which I replicated on No's 2 and 3

Andy, I have a set of carbon stanchion mirrors going spare for a very reasoonable consideration Rik

Andy, It sounds like it must be alot worse when hot than when I listened to it, when cold-ish. As Ian says, its under warranty, if you're not happy then get CC to sort it, as I think I mentioned my last car had three diffs before I got a good one Anyway good to meet last night, hope you got home drier than we did, more Noahs Ak than Caterham Rik

Spotted southbound on M1 near Scratchwood Services at about 10.00am Rik

BM replied to Rik

No, I didn't is the short answer The reason I was repacking it was that I had noticed some heat tarnish near the front of the can (and I thought it had got a little louder) On opening it up I found the steel wool holed where the heat tarnish was and the insulation at that end quite blackened. So I didn't want to put the steel wool back, so I spoke to Kirsty (I think) at TV and she said that I shouldn't need any retainer at all, just use the infill. I repacked it with just the infill which are the pictures you can see, but before I had chance to run it up, I visited our exhaust factory in France who use a glass cloth as a retainer in our large industrial silencers. I mananged to acquire a bit and reassembled the exhaust with the thin layer of glass cloth, feeling happier that there was some sort of retainer present. On testing it, I am not sure it is is as quiet as I expected, so perhaps the glass cloth is preventing the infill doing its thing. I will run it a bit longer and dismantle again to see how it is all faring Rik

Pictures as promised here Rik

Phil, I have just repacked my CSR260 exhaust with no problems at all. I have loads of pictures but have yet to download/post them. May try and do it over the weekend. Used AcoustiFil from Thermal Velocity following another post on here, service very good, seems okay so far, yet to run the car though. The online calculator showed I needed 2.33m which I got in the can fairly easily. It then apparently expands to fill the can. Rik

2nd dibs if still available Rik

I found my rear wings starred with even the butyl rubber roof paint on So I now have foam bonded to the underside of the wings, 6mm for the rear and 3mm for the front. I used the closed cell camping mat type material but bought online alot cheaper. I think for a sheet of 2mx1m of each thickness was about £20 Solved any issues and quietened the stone noise, so that you don't get that bottom clenching moment when you go over a freshly chipped road (just like the one out of Yarmouth Ferry terminal !!!)
