About Heat Shields

The engine, throught he process of internal combustion, generates very high temperatures. For this reason heat shields are fitted to help reduce the temperature in the exhaust system to prevent overheating.

The Land Rover heat shield is a metal, circular, fixed plate which helps to shield vital exhaust system and other engine components from the intense heat that's generated by the hot gases that are travelling through the system, to help prevent damage to vital components. The specific metal used varies but most common is sheet metal or rolled aluminium. Heat shields are positioned along the exhaust and in the engine compartment along the firewall.

The heat shield either absorbs, deflects or spreads the heat to reduce the temperature of the exhaust gas.

Problems arising with the heat shields can be from corrosion or the shields having become misshapen through contact with stones or debris from the road. Replacing this part with the Land Rover heat shield will ensure perfect compatibility with the make and model of your vehicle.

Land Rover trivia

• The Queen loves Land Rovers and is reported to have owned as many as 30 different models in her life. It was in a Land Rover Defender that her majesty terrified the then Crown Prince Abdullah with her wild driving skills.
• Although the first Land Rover was designed in 1947 (by Maurice Wilks), the company wasn't actually founded until 1978!
• Land Rovers and James Bond go hand in hand. The 4x4 Land Rover has been in more Bond films than there have been Bond actors! In Spectre, the Defender SVX was customised with 37-inch tyres and more power.
• When the Pope was visiting the UK in 1984, Land Rover designed him a customised Popemobile to use in the country.
• The Range Rover designer hated what he had made. Charles Spencer "Spen" King CBE, was focused solely on designing a large V8 engine, and then just drew a box around it to show where the engine would sit. It annoyed him for the rest of his life, and he insisted that he'd only put 0.1% of development time on the car shape. He also hated that they would be used for anything other than farming, saying, "...to use them in the school run, or even in towns and cities at all, is completely stupid."
