⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Cracked, loose or missing shield
• Heat damage to nearby hoses or wiring
• Rattling caused by broken mounts
• Corrosion or loss of insulating coverage
• Discolouration indicating abnormal local heat

🛠️ Service Notes

• Refit the shield whenever it has been taken off for access — it is there to keep heat, spray or contact away from something, and leaving it off is how the next failure starts
• Check the clearance all round once it is fitted so it cannot touch a moving part or press against a pipe, hose or harness
• Renew a shield that is cracked, badly distorted or corroded through rather than straightening it again
• Fit all of its original fasteners, spacers and any insulating or standoff pieces; the standoffs set the air gap the shield is designed to have
• Check the fixings again after the first run, since a shield sits in a vibrating position and works loose
