Did you use much filler? only reason I ask is that sometimes over time it can sag,shrink, or under high temperature it cracks away from the plastic (I found this out after one was filled and colour coded, I plastic weld it now instead)

Yea mate i did think about plastic welding it but couldnt be arsed. It was just a quick fix to get the engine cover back on with all the rain we've had. I dont want water getting anywhere it shouldn't  and end up causing any mishaps. Will probably re do it when it goes tits up. :wink:
