Burn4 Site Supporter Registered: 25/05/10 Posts: 8576 Loc: Birmingham, England	Mine fell off as well, cured the clattering noise I'd been having for weeks (one side was attached the other bouncing on the back box) Taking it off is fine, things in the boot might get slightly warmer but no major deal _________________________ My ST Mods

dontpannic Site Supporter Registered: 10/04/11 Posts: 3508 Loc: Orpington, SE London, UK	I repaired mine using ally tape, didn't want to risk running without it due to the proximity to various bits and pieces under there. _________________________
