I've looked into the heat shields...for those who drive on our side (HK = Hong Kong)...

There is one fitted to the vacuum servo..& then there is one for the reservoir & master cylinder....

All cars get the lower down one for the vacuum servo....only the 2lt diesels I think get the upper one.....

I have tried to get the upper one but its discontinued....& the replacement requires fitting a different brake fluid reservoir!!

So I am planning to make my own using silver foil lined fabric heat shield..
