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.

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.
