    It origianlly happened on friday when I was at the Track day. Managed to fix it and even did a few laps.

    Seems like I may have overtightened it on the fix so when I booted it, it finally split. Had to call recovery service as I did'nt have any tools. The guy got there within 15 minutes and we removed the engine lid. He then moved the clip down a few centimetres and I drove the 6 miles home....very slowly.

    I'll be replacing it with a silicon one sometime this week.

    Fortunatly it was an easy part to access.

    Even more fortunate, was that I was about to enter the Blackwall Tunnel, which is a looooong tunnel going under the Thames river. Then I would really have been screwed.

    The 348's having all the rads and rubbers changed next month anyway. Just bad timing.
