I have no real details, just that it can't be done with clamps etc.

He doesn't want to risk damaging the polycarbonate with an unsuitable
adhesive, so any suggestions please for something that could be got easily
from B&Q or similar - his wife is in town on Wednesday and can take it back.

Looks as if Araldite or acrylic will do it but I don't know how 'correct'
the Araldite has to be. I have some here that I could pass on.

No. Araldite is not effective at gluing polycarbonate

Hot glue might work..

Or an acrylic sticks like **** stuff might as well.

Hard to say without more detail.

Like whether its to come apart later on..

I've very little information - as I said, this is in France and the people
trying to do the job don't know much about such things (if, however, you
want the aircon repairing and recharging on your private train...).
I get the impression that it's a bond simply to hold the 2 parts whie the
rest of the job is done, but unlikely that the parts will need to be, er,
parted.
I'll take some superglue, epoxy and possibly DS tape in with me and suggest
that they're tried on an offcut.
