Hi all,

Noticed a rattle recently which i quickly diagnosed as a loose manifold heat shield, nut looks very corroded so will need to be dremeled off.
Other than the dealers is there anywhere else where i can buy a replacement one from (I have checked shop4parts with no luck).

Secondly the exhaust looks to be the original (09 car) and is in one piece,but i think its days are numbered as there are chunks flaking off the backbox. The manifold to exhaust gasket is also blowing.

Any tips / advice on the bits above ?

Thanks

My heat shield did the same, as it shares the platform with the Vauxhall corsa, I got one from them ( cheaper and plenty of Vauxhall dealers compared to Alfa) not sure how much it was tho
