Is there any advice when the speaker starts to seperate, as per this photo? I just tried a very tempiry solution which works fine but looks horrible!r

You can buy speaker repair kits to replace the surrounds, try some sort of glue like rubber cement (though may react poorly with some material, have to figure out what glue to use), or send them off to one of the places that rebuilds speakers. It is usually fairly inexpensive.

I would start by pulling the driver to see what the other side looks like and try a bead of glue at the very edge (or back lip, keeping it off the surround as much as possible).

Looks like the dreaded foam rot - you will need to have the surrounds replaced. Needs some dexterity, as the voice coil must stay accurately centered.

Just google "foam rot speaker repair" - you will find many pages on the subject, including instructions on how to do it in a DIY way.

It is a very common problem. I can't remember where I posted the solution. Just go to you tube

Get better, or newer, speakers.

a new pair of speakers is always nice.
