Any one else had this happen?

If it's a translucent cover then it's quite common - it appears the the material used may be too brittle. Is it still under warranty ?

That happens lots, Mr E. Warranty should cover it, though.

Yes tis translucent orange and will be on the phone later on today.
Thinking back on when i collected it they had to change the cover as it was cracked
I wonder if they still have the original white covers?

IIRC, once you get the new airbox, rubber washers should stop it recurring.
