Solution to squeeling problem

[madaboutthe30]

Hey guys,

a few months ago my car started squeeling randomly and especially everytime the revs would go approximately above 3k.

I later posted a thread called "like a ford transit".

Anyway I finally got the chance to inspect the car and found the problem coming from my exhaust system. I would push the exhaust to one side once it started squeeling and the noise would stop. Something must be coming loose or maybe one of the rubbers has broken off. When we get some warmer weather Im going to take it off and have a better look.

I thought I'd share this with you guys, if your car does start squeeling, before you start analysing the engine, take a quick look at the exhaust system.
