   Thank you for your reply,  I will give it another go.  When feeling at the back of the engine under the bulkhead there is what could be a locating stub or dowel. It is very difficult to see, but feeling around it doesnt seem to have  a machined head tha the allen bolt would have had.  Anyway  there always the disc cutter{ha ha}.

	As always with modern manufacturers there are several hoses and grommets attached to the plastic covers over the engine. Sounds like you either have still to find an allen key socket bolt or two (check under the bulkhead, or right down towards the base of the head) - or you have to release a few grommets/ hoses to free the cover. The covers do have bottom locators pegs to help with alignment but these should normally simpy pull free when you lift up the cover.
