Preamble:

My experience with Land Rover, Ford badge engineering, the car is basically a Ford with a bit of Volvo (wouldn't touch white goods with two barge poles in series), others have have had similar experience.

Engine cover removal / installation:

Mine was out for too long, nevertheless was a bit surprised how messy things were at first, but really shouldn't be surprised due to the high mileage on undulating surfaces & in less than ideal environments, eventually suffering from mid, possibly early life wear & tear. Anyway, easy to clean up & fortunately no signs of major damage. Almost forgot which way it when back in. Had to get my weight on top to push hard to get it back in the respective holes, which will probably get looser the more I do it. But these days probably only once a year or longer at the current rate I'm going.

Couldn't work out why some didn't understand my technical description.
