Default 01 XJ8 Engine Trim Question

OK, so I had my cam tensioners replaced (patting self on head...) and when she got back I noticed a couple of areas that seem like they need an engine trim piece. Specifically, where the moulded cam covers meet at the firewall side of the engine, there are two indentations about a half ince. It seems like there should be a joining piece to fit within the recess. Any clue? Second, there is a hole on the trim piece between the fill caps and the tool recess. Is there supposed to be some kind of button that fits there or is it a drain hole? Finally, the horizontal trim panels in the back of the engine compartment don't seem to match up or allow force-fitting over their vertical components. Is that normal? See photos. Thanks for the assist

1) There is supposed to be a rubber piece that joins the two. 'Spacer, Engine = NJA1819AC"
2) On my car that hole is filled with a plastic bit that you can turn and then pull out.

Yes, both holes have screws that the parts down. However I also need the spacer part for the covers. Thanks for the post Lear45.

Default And the parts guys says...

...the computer says no longer serviced, but there may be one in the UK
If that doesn't pan out, looks like I tour a salvage yard or fabricate something close enough to fool an inspector (uh huh).
