Is there supposed to be one on a corsa?? Coz a mate whilst sittin in the back noticed that the floor was warm in the back behind the handbrake area?? Or he said could be where the engine throws out hot air or something?? Didnt really listen

Anyone got any ideas? Cheers!

yes there is one but after a decent run in the car its inevitable it will get warm, but i doubt its as warm as the exhaust. it does shield the heat but dont think its totally inpenitrable.

The exhaust manifold heat shield wont do anything for that, its just the heat off the exhaust pipe thats running close under the car.
