If you decide to go back, insist on watching when they work on it. If it is missing, take a pic and threaten Trading Standards. Might get you a partial refund.

Given the age of your RR you may find that the reason the shoe retaining spring has come out is due to corrosion on the back plate. If that is the case then the back plate will need to be replaced or the retaining spring will keep falling out, however the back plate is not easy to replace. 56 TDV8 Vogue SE

Andy J - although I understand your comment based on the state of many RR front brake dirt shields, the backplates should be nowhere near that badly corroded that the spring retaining pins pull out on a 2007 car - unless it's been in incredibly harsh environment.

In the unlikely event that the registration hole for the spring assembly has corroded how about using one of these against the back plate :-
