Thanks for your reply . If I still had it I would :( , it fell out . I've been in touch with a couple of garages who specialise in Jags and they have never seen a cover with a blanking plate like this before . It's looking like fitting cam covers from the earlier car may be my only fix ?? But if anyone else has seen this before it will give me some hope that I might be able to get one .

Hi all I'm hoping you can help . I am after a small plastic disc that sits on the top of the cam cover at the radiator end over the vvt on a 4 litre xj8 x308 , my car is a 1998 (and so has the v v t solenoid on the front of the engine ) but the car had an engine replacement in 2004 ( not sure on date ) by a jag main dealer. That meant it was supplied with cam covers that had a hole in the top of the cam cover for the later style vvt which had the solenoid on the top of the cam cover . It looks like Jag supplied a blanking plate which was held in with sealant , or not in my case ! causing my engine bay to look like a BP disaster site . I have rang a few garages but with no luck , does anyone know where I might get one of these from, or has anybody ever seen this before ?
