   Just a quick question when i take my rocker cover off to polish it up do i have to replace the seal or is it ok just to use the old one?

    It depends on its condition, if its cracked anywhere it needs replacing and its about £4 for a new one. Old ones will look tatty against the shiny rocker anyway
