You can claim for days worked if you have a valid signed timesheet.
If you didn't get a timesheet then you're out of luck.
You can't claim for notice period if you did not work and do not have a signed timesheet for it.
Can you show the precedent or legislation that says that you must have a timesheet in order to be paid for work completed, because that sounds like bilge to me.
Indeed - if you look at the agency regulations, they merely state that if you did not opt out correctly then as long as you can prove that you worked the hours then you are entitled to payment. This can be through many different methods, of which a signed timesheet is but one.

Just the two days. Start the dunning process if you want but don't hold your breathe. For two days of work your time would be better spent finding a new role.

Most agents require evidence that the client has signed off the time worked.
2 days! By the time you'd set up your computer, adjusted the seat, and found out where the coffee machine and toilets were you'd were out of there. What work did you actually do?
I suppose you always reimburse your client/agency for the first day's rate on your first invoice on the basis that all you've done is set up your computer, found out where the coffee machine and toilets are etc. ???

No but I don't bale after 2 days and expect payment for doing **** all, sign a contract = honour it or stop pretending to be a contractor and go and get a perm job at KFC, ppl like this give us (well me not you maybe) a bad name.

But you're paid on a day-by-day basis, hence the "daily rate". Doesn't matter when you bail, whether it be 2 days into a 3 months or 5 months into a 6 monther.
Do you not feel bad for taking $$$ from the client for that very first day when you did diddly squat in the way of "real" work?
