Well actually, after they had replaced my muffler, catalitic
converter, front and back pipes the noise was still there.  At that
point they decided to change the manifold gasket.  When the mechanic
went to replace the gasket he found that the upper and lower brackets
on the exhaust manifold cover were broken.  Rather than weld on a new
bracket, they replaced the manifold!  There are definitely few
mechanics left in the world, dealer just seem to employ parts fitters.
The long and short of it is my _ENTIRE_ exhaust system, front to back
has been replaced over a 1 year period for two wee brackets :-(.

Cheers,

Gordon.

P.S.: I haven't had any steering wheel vibration problems.
