Re: Weird Flappy Noise
Think you have answered your own question regards the Flappy sound your exhaust gasket is flapping about due to a missing bolt Would be good if thats all it is.

Weird Flappy Noise
Hi - Me again, This is a lazy call for help as I should really record or video the sound so you can hear it. When I start my GT engine, 4 times out of 6 it will start up with a 'flappy' noise - almost as if the VRIS valves are out of sync or something? It doesn't sound like mis adjusted tappets - fl...

Re: 1995 2.0 litre transmission
