Rear exhaust heat shield?

I noticed a rattle form the rear end of my FL2 today. It was the rear exhaust heat shield. Took it off, as it was resting on the rear exhaust baffle. Shield looking rotten. Would there be any real need to re-fit a new one? The rear exhaust baffle seems to be close to the underside of the spare wheel well. So does not look close to the tank.
I seemed to have done well for problems this week Laughing

Thanks. Landy has now gone.

You could always fit a new Heat Shield, you won't get much change out of £90, that's if you fit it yourself.

I could always buy some big washers, re-fit the old one. Don't know whether I could get to the bolts without taking the exhaust off though?
Eaiser option, leave as is. Landy has now gone.

Considering the heat shield does not protect the tank. Have decided to leave it off. Was a piece of junk anyway Laughing Think silver/alu foil would have been a better choice Shocked Laughing Landy has now gone.

Mine went this morning. Quick look the heat shield was laying loose on top of the rear box. Had to send SWMBO off to work with the rattle as was in my Jimjams.

Anyone got an exploded diagramme showing this part?

Advice is to simple remove it rather than replace?

Thanks in advance for advice. Thumbs Up

Seems they use the same stuff on all sorts of cars and it always falls off! I did a Hi-lux the other day with the same issue. Re-fitting with big washers is the way to go. John

Thanks, might be tempted, if the refitting wasn't a big job or disturbing the exhaust.

As I said, I only had a glance this morning, so I am not sure what's involved.

Thanks, this one is just resting on top of the back box. It makes a fair rattle as nothing is holding it on, but SWMBO wouldn't take my car, so off she went rattle and all. No donut I'll get told to do something when she comes in at 6pm.

Hi - discovered mine loose 2 weeks ago Did a quick fix by using some thinnish wire - held the shield back in place and then strung the wire ( wrapped round the original fixings ) from one fixing to next in a sort of diagonal pattern, then longways from side to side - checked it at the weekend and is holding good so far ! Wire was thin enough to get part way under the fixings Freelander 2

Thanks, might be the way. I had a look and the little metal pegs are rusted, some off completely. The heat shield is corroded so there arnt any holes left so to speak. The back and sides seem easy to get to, but there are a couple of pegs towards the front that are hidden by the rear axle.

Did wonder, accepting the fuel tank is remote, bunging on a few self tappers.

All repaired now.

The corrosion had eaten the thin alloy around the fixing lugs, so some oversized washers and the two nearest the rear went back on no problem. Another two halfway along required a couple of holes drilled into the tyre well , bolts and washers attached and the final two were hidden under the rear axle, so I couldn't get to them. That said, it's refitted and I am happy it very secure. It will last until I replace it. Thumbs Up

Done this on my daughter's Renault and wife's Peugeot. Big enough washers fix anything. Also had an exhaust bracket fail, fix with jubilee clip. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
