Technical Heat shield

Well this was my original post and everyone seemed to think it was heat shield. I don't even have a clue what it is any suggestions would be great.

Ive got a strange noises coming from my car ( 95 MK 1 Punto). Don't know what it is.

It's a strange noise coming from underneath my car. It sounds as if i've knocked my exhaust off and it's rattling away. But the sound is coming from the front of my car. The noise becomes quite loud when the car is idle. When changing gears especially in lower gears it sound more as if the car going to stole. Even though it never does it's just the sound of it. Oil and coolant is fineKind regards
 
I would agree with chris get underneath the car when the exhaust is cold and you will see a heat shield it prob come lose give it and the exhaust a shake you will see and hear if it is lose or if it has moved and is hitting the exhaust

hi there on my sisters car wich had a similar rattle it was the heat shield it was a small peice that was near exhaust about middle of car it was rattling up and down.

heat shield is normally just a peice of thin flat metal that is put inbetween something hot like exhaust and other parts behind it so as to defelct heat away
