Hi,
My heat shield 'fell off' on the way to work this morning. I heard this funny noise as I was driving and on investigating, it had fallen down and was vibrating against the side of the engine.
I have been quoted nine pounds for a new part but about forty five pounds to fit it. I'll have a go myselt first, saves a bit of money. It look like it gets quite hot next to the starter motor without it, I do not think I'll risk a long journey until it is fixed, don't want the cost of a new starter motor as well.
