Adhesive to Repair Scuttle Panel
The plastic on the scuttle panel is marked as "PP MF 40"
Any recommendations on a suitable adhesive is suitable to bond it back together

Can't help with a glue recommendation but one from a scrappy may be a more permanent fix

Probably would, but the one I've got has a minor crack which I'd like to try and repair

I used some of that Gorilla glue for some plastic at home the other week, it's a good bond but a little messy to use.
Failing that my top favourite for most tasks is superglue gel. Doesn't run all over your fingers and bonds very quickly

David,
If PP means polypropylene then it is a NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- to stick. Araldite-type epoxies are normally first attempt. Never used Gorilla glue but it does stick most stuff. There are some specialist glues that prime the surface to aid adhesion (surface energy increase apparently). Never used it but maybe stuff like this... http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/sg_...ing-System.htm Plastic welding (with a soldering iron / pyrography burner) should always work...but not very pretty!!!
