Presumably to stop big branches from hitting the driveshaft, potentially damaging the CV perhaps........
If you didn't have the shield there, what damage would have been done to the shaft/joints...?Bodsys Brake Bible

Mine did this on the Salisbury event earlier in the year. Drove home expecting the rear diff to explode at any minute!
I think it protects the prop shaft joints from heat from the exhaust.

I think you are talking about the heat shield between the tailshaft ( that's the long cylindrical thingy) and the exhaust (fat hot thing that makes you say ouch when you touch it)
I suppose if you are stationary one side of the tail shaft could get hot and cause a deformation of said cylindrical thingy. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

I think it's probably superfluous, but I'll have a look at it before doing removing. I'll put the car up on ramps on the weekend and either fix it or remove it.Have a nice day!
