Further to Peters SICO cover, I have 'mailed the Ford Motor Co. as in the USA, they offer a cover of the type we are all used to with modern engines.
As the 2ltr GDI is used in their cars over there I have asked if we can buy one here. I await a reply.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

I went to the scrap yard yesterday looking for an engine cover, I could only find a Galaxy one but did manage to get it complete with mountings. A few minutes on the band saw then some cleaning up with a sharp file and it fits. The studs for the mountings were already on the cylinder head, I managed to use two out of the three mounting so it's quite secure. A couple of pics to show the before and after. I think I will also cover the bonnet louvers over the oil filler cap, as meabh showed in his post. I'll also check the plugs quite often until I know how water proof it's going to be. Cheers John

Exbiker,
Nothing back from Ford yet. I suspect that they don't really want to get involved.
I guess the next move is to go to a local Ford dealer and see if they can help.
I will let you know, in the meantime, I wonder if John's pre GDI cover could be modified as the main difference in terms of fitting is the oil filler and dip stick position.
Here for a good time not a long time!!

Hi Reg,
Thanks for keeping me informed, If you find anything I'd be grateful if you keep me in the loop.
i'll do the same but I'm not that mechanically clever!!
