There is no heatshield over the INLET manifold!
On a 16v there is a plastic cover where the HT leads sit in.

There is however a large cast aluminium heatshield over the EXHAUST manifold which indeed is prone to breaking and rattling.

Very common. This fixed mine, and kept it shut for a year until engine came out  :smiley:



2 large jubilee clips joined together, then tightened over the manifold  :smiley:
