Engine rear heatshield loose

Can someone come to my rescue please. At the rear of the engine, running from the exhaust manifold to the bell housing there is a small heatshield, probably about 6" x 2". ( this is separate to the turbo heatshield ). It looks like it protects a wire. Anyway, its' really loose, rattling and anoying, and I cannot see how it is fixed in order to try and tighten it. I put my hand down to see if I could feel a bolt or anything but only suceeded in cutting my finger on it. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Its attached to the cat/exhaust downpipe from the turbo, its not easy to get to from underneath, but it is easier...

A cat replacemant downpipe (avoid Terrafirma

) from a good supplier, (I put a Twisted one on a Puma), comes with a bracket to attach the heat shield, then all rattles can be solved.

If the shield has 'torn' from where it's bolted on, a larger penny washer usually suffices if you don't want to replace the cat.
