Hi All, in case this is useful to others, I finally found the correct item on Scuderia, which is a great reference site:-
The long plastic sill splash shields on the L405 are held on by 4 off galvanised M6x24mm (10mm hex) bolts (with captive washers), part number LR009266 these are also used in several other locations underneath on various other plastic bits and heat shields. I was not able to find these aftermarket, so £1.06 each at John Craddock.
Well worth getting the car up on ramps and replacing these (plus a dab of aluminium anti-seize).
Several on my not-that-old MY2017 were in a bit of a state and needed a 3/8” socket to get them out, fortunately only one needs drilling out/screw extractor job. Threads were OK, just the exposed heads rotting away. I’ll probably grease the new ones with Lanogard grease to protect them a bit better.
These can be a right PITA if left unchecked, and slow down your access to more important jobs. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!
