Tried using Araldite but it formed a layer between the ABS plastics and snapped apart. What adhesive will bond with ABS?

Should I declare Taco Tuesday and go wild with the Kragle?

I have used Q-Bond with success. It comes as a liquid plus powder (one for metal bonding, the other plastic) and, even without the powder, forms well.
 
Thanks. Anything in Halford's or a suoermarket as I'm fed up waiting for yet another parcel to finish this job?

This came from an independent motor-factors’ near me in Southend, and I’ve not seen it elsewhere I’m afraid to say.
 
 
I did a quick test, as I was being lazy by asking... with loctite superglue and loctite all purpose extra strong. Guess what, super glue seems to work for the application I need. Even though the fumes leave a white residue on the black ABS, the part in question is hidden, and the parts where the glue is are bonded properly, I can't separate them even with a pry bar applying pressure. Will post on another thread about it.
