There should indeed be a heat shield that IIRC attaches to the auto box sump above the down pipe. Its almost always missing
these days. I replaced the last one I did with a Rover SD1 item from JR Wadhams which comes with a built in loom. I modified the loom
to suit the dolomite and it worked fine.
I then heat wrapped the downpipe with that asbestos bandage stuff. Car hasnt been back so I assume it worked ok...
