How on EARTH do you loose that cover??! :)

Try at simons  : "Deckel part nr : 08008 

17.5 Euros... a bit steep for a piece of plastic.. but perhaps that will teach you not too loose it again!!  :P :P :P

I didn't, the local auto electricians did and when I got another from SCU, my bodyshop lost that one. Bastards.

I know i'm an ass! I can only imagine i lost it when i was playing around with the fuses as the interior lights were playing up... Im gonna check out the price from both Will and SCU but if its too much i may make another from plasticard. But i'd like to keep things original.

Quick tip: take off cover, pierce the surround and cover just enough to loop one of those tiny cable-ties through both, in the same place obviously so the cover can be refitted.  Now you can lift the cover for access but not lose it!  I did this many, many, years ago, and I'm always amazed how many Murena I see without covers today.  People obviously forget to refit them. :-(
