can you still buy new exhaust heat shields?

[scjimbo]

As above.

If so how much?

If you mean the bits that protect the ignition leads from the exhaust manifold, then yes. You get one free with every exhaust manifold gasket, since they are part of the gasket.

Quick search of the genuine parts section brings these results up -

Cotswolds have them for the full underneath of the car but there not cheap.

I was on about the ones that run the length of the car. They seem to be mighty spensive though

Yes, you can still buy them from BMW.

Check the prices here > http://www.cooper-bmw-parts.co.uk/

For example, item 1 is £43.10, which I think is not too bad...It wouldn't be a tenner for sure lol

Ah those prices are more realistic. On the other thread it was 200 quid

Never seen a #1 that has deteriorated in the slightest. A second hand one should be absolutely fine.
#8 is a different matter - this needs replacing on nearly every E30 I've seen, and is a frequent cause of exhaust rattles.

It's the number 8 I need it's rotten beyond belief. It has a nasty effect on my OCD
