Bloody stupid plasitic clips.
Not usually a problem when they break, but the clip has an orange bellows type connector, so when you push it on it pushes back out.
Any suggestions

Supper glue, do you use that in the evening
Didn't want to stick it in permanently if poss, just in case.
Never seen such a connector with orange bellows, they are causing the problem by pushing the plug out.
Going to look at gorilla glue, never used it before.
Thanks

Which connector is it??

Have a look at realoem.com for a late E46 with M47 engine and see if BMW supply the connector housing separately.

If you take a photo and post it here I'll have a look for you if you like?

Solved the problem with sugru, great stuff.
It's the electrical plug for the sensor on the end of the fuel rail.

Hello I think the connector housing is BMW part 12512247472

Or you can order the overlay harness from LR which is YMQ503320
