[Closed] Vauxhall Astra Heatsheild Woes

The heat shield on my wife's Vauxhall Astra has detached itself from the bottom of the car and the little stud that hold it in place has snapped off. If I take it off completely will the car blow up? Alternatively is there an adhesive compound I can use to hold it in place?

Heashield? Underneath? That's not a heat shield it's probably something to do with aerodynamics. Just take it off

If its the heatshield around the cat yes by all means throw it to ****
But doent be parking in any long dry grass\fields then you will end up trapped in a fireball with a slow lingering death
