Two bolts at the front and one 10mm nut at the back, give it a good tug upwards and it will come off sometimes easier if the remove the air intake pipe. 2013 FL2 XS.

Yes the nut would be on the vertical screw and I dropped mine the first time I took the cover off. It disappeared down the back of the engine! |

Bob, that corner will not budge. Do i need to use brute force to get it to move?

Jim, you need to give it a sharp upwards pull, to separate the cover from the ball & socket mounts. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

As said above. But I have the petrol engine. You really need to give the cover in each corner a very firm sharp hard tug a few cm. The ball & socket mounts are extremely tight. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

If you skip to 30 seconds in this video, then you can see where the "hidden" 3rd nut location is: https://youtu.be/fuAY1_hFuPQ?si=myZ8TG0Bi_K_PWlE

When you put it back , put some vaseline / grease on the balls - it will come off much easier next time. Jules |
