2bh I wouldn't remove it. It's there for a reason. to stop the heat burning pipes/hand brake cable. Just see were it's loose and re-fix it.

could always remove it and stick something insulating between the pipe and the car

cheers,that will probably be tomorrows job then.already removed the heat shield from by the backbox as it was rotten.thought that would solve the rattle.
would it be a good idea to leave the shield by the petrol tank alone?daft question i,m sure.
