2010 E70 X5 3.0d - Engine Stall at 40mph

It's common for the hard plastic corner pieces on the bulkhead to crack and let water run onto the rear 2 injectors , my drivers one was split that covers the master cylinder they are about 110 each new ! :o I could get a secondhand one they were all broke too.
