5 or so spring clips hold the lid in place, lever them off with a screwdriver but watch out for them coming completely off and dissapearing into the engine bay ;)


(perhaps we should write a maintenance guide :D)

Half a dozen spring clips around the edge, careful though, they come off easily & are a bugger to retreive from the various noks & crannies in the wing area. You just wriggle the cover out.  :y
