The shiny insulation on the underside of my bonnet is coming away. Does anybody know the best adhesive to resecure it. It obviously has to withstand the high temp. Thankyou.

Didn't have a problem with mine, but would suggest SIKAFLEX. Not avialable from Halfrauds you need to go to ta good auto traders, PartCo down here in Sussex.

Evostick contact adhesive is as good as any.
