Idiot Q

Hi all, daft Q I know but how do you remove the engine cover on the 35d model?

I can't see any bolt heads and presume it has some push fit studs holding it in place, but don't want to flex the plastic in the wrong direction and snap a fitting.

Am sure it's something simple!!

for the 35i from the front pull up, then once up, pull forward. Unsure if 35d is the same

Couldn't find anything on Google, but a quick feel this morning and it's off.

It simply pulls 'up' and has 4 retaining lugs (of course one of the rubbers fell off and is now on the undercarriage

) but I can now see/access what I need to to service it etc
