After having bought my T350C on Friday we had a lovely 1000 km drive to Germany driving. We had lots of fun watching other people watching us. After international Sunday (breakfast in England, lunch in France, coffee break in Belgium and dinner in Germany) we finally had the chance to give her a go on the Autobahn. At about 110/120 mph the silencer starts to move too much and hits the boot floor - which is pretty scary in a car you don't know eek .

I didn't have the chance to look on the underside yet. But moving the exhaust while standing did reproduce the noise. The diffuser seems to move a lot, too (as told by my friend following me). Any ideas? scratchchin

Thanks.

Sounds like the rear exhaust hangers/rubbers. I needed all of mine replacing to stop the exhaust knocking on the chassis or hitting the rear diffuser.

One more thing (as I've never done that on my own and haven't finished reading the manual yet ): Are there any suggested positions for the jack?
