exhaust heat shield

I went for a drive last night, Everything was fine at first, but when i stopped i heard this rattling, Looked under the car to see the Heat shield bouncing around on the exhaust. So to stop it from just falling on to the road in the middle of the night, i pulled it off, it wasnt attached and just resting on the exhaust. This is the middle bit before the exhaust box.

The one that goes over the exhaust box fell off a few months ago and never got it replaced.

My question is do i get them replaced? The car has been in to ford about twice with the back shield missing and they never said anything about it being missing.

The one that fell off last night, looks like the one that went between the petrol tank and exhaust.

The car is a 09 ZS

    if you still have the shield put it back on by either using larger diameter washers or as i did on my focus make some brackets because what happens after time is the shield rots at the fixing point , i know when mine worked loose i nearly had an heart attack because of the rattling :biggrin:
