I have been renewing the metal coolant rail pipe at front of engine, the one that corrodes. Things were going well until I dropped a 13 mm bolt down into the radiator bottom hose!! I have been unable to get it out. I have completed the job topped up the coolant and all seems fine. What are...

9-5 Estate 2005, but I guess they are all the same. The heat shield that sits above the middle silencer has become detatched, apart from one corner. It sits on the silencer and rattles, and may come off altogether at speed. There are 3 or 4 fixing 'studs' down each side, but the heat shield...

Well, All went to plan, just about! Took the car to my Mate Andy's Garage (VW Audi Specialist - I'm a dubber at heart...) to utilise his lifts and tools for a few hours. Used Wynns engine flush in the old oil before dropping it out. Something that I was very wary of doing after read horror...

Finally got around to dropping my sump and thought i'd post some pics of my findings. No real sludge but there are some worryingly small fragments of metal - any ideas what these could be from? They seem to have blocked the strainer pretty nicely too.
