I don't know how good these are for you. If you can point me somewhere you'd like a pic, I'll see if I can take one. Following is a Zip with some pics in anyway....

GrumpyGel you rule!!!
thank you very much for taking the time to take the pictures,
I couldn't find my way round the back of the engine to find the 2 bolts that hold it to what looks like the coolant rail in picture 4454.
tomorrow I have the day-off from work so going to try and get the remains of old one out, would it be ok if I make a heat-shield out of metal plate by myself instead of replacing it with a "genuine part"?

Wicked, glad they helped 
It looks 'flat' (with bends), I suppose if you can use the old bits as a template, and can get the fixing holes in the right place, you could make one up. I find 'bits' around these heat shields perish quite quickly - presumably due to the heat. I took one off our Starlet to get better access to the oil filter and the bolts just snapped off - it didn't go back on!
