V8 Vantge 'coil covers'

[LPH]

One of the long plastic covers that fit over the coils/plugs on my 4.3 Vantage won't stay in place. Looks like a pretty crappy design TBH. Is there supposed to be something in the 2 hollow 'posts' on the underside of the cover that locate (or not as the case may be) onto the brass coloured pins that stick out of the cam cover? The inner diameter of the hollow post looks to be bigger than the diameter of the pin, so will never stay in place.

New covers are amazingly cheap at just £11.80 + vat each! Perhaps I should just replace them?

Cheers

I have same issue with one of mine too. Can’t really see how they are supposed to fit firmly!
So would also be interested in answer to OP’s question.

Surprised covers cost so little, what is source please, as I might have to get one ( or even two )

Thanks, David

Just a quick update.

Bought a new cover. Still doesn't fit very well at all, just about holds in to the fixings but reckon it will fall off pretty easily......

I think it really is just a st deign to be honest.
