Ha ha!!! Just spat my coffee out!!!  I did wonder why someone would want to post about spotting an engine cover!!!


But to the question, you need to remove the neck bit around the oil cap and then prize off the 4 lugs/sockets in each corner of the engine cover.  They should pop out with a small amount of force

And worth getting the engine warm aswell before pulling. Plastics when cold can be very brittle .  :happy2:
