They said no goodwill as it may have been something catching on it under the car. To our knowledge nothing has ever caught the underside of our car. Enquired about goodwill as car is 3 months out of warranty and has only covered 12000 miles from new 3 years ago when we bought it. I'm thinking about just replacing the bands with the adjustable bands you see on rubber couplings at Home Depot for joining ABS plastic pipe or cast iron pipe like the 3 or 4" bands. Now your ready & can remove the Fixing nut & clean off as much loose material that you can from the heat shield/car. Fix depends on whether its the heatshield that's corroded away around the fixing, or the fixing that's corroded away or fallen off. If it's the former, just make a plate out of anything you like with a small hole in the middle and sandwich the heatshield under/above that.
Well today our up! has just returned from the VW dealer and lo & behold it had to have a new heat shield fitted. As for them not being suitable because of the heat - if you're getting that high exhaust temps, the clips are the least of your worries! I scraped out all the iron oxide rust and the hole in the heat shield is a circle, like it has always been that size. The heat shield looks in good condition. I've got some washers that will cover it though. Content is available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License unless otherwise noted.

Rum - Yes, the thin sheet of metal sandwiched between heat shield and clip over stud is what I will try. The video I tried linking to and can't find again showed exactly what you have suggested, cheers. Just found this. The hole in heat shield is bigger. Like the heat shield has been pulled out over the remaining clip.
As for fitment, I guess they just push over the screw stud that is peeping out the heat shield, and has lots of rust on its surface? the heat shield now has a big hole in it where originally it had a small hole for the retainer's stud to pass through Recently I had the opportunity to easily get underneath my Note and noticed that some of the exhaust heat shield clips are missing from the rear section, presumably corroded and fallen off. The remaining ones seem to be OK.

Not to solid. It felt like kit kat wrappers as well.
