The rope gasket on the baffle clean out cover on my Mexico boiler has come unstuck, I'm going to get some new rope gasket but what is the best adhesive to use to fix it to the aluminium cover.

The place you get the rope seal from should have the appropiate "high
temperature rope adhesive".

whilst this is indeed the proper and best way, I repair the seal on my
log burner with - ahem - evostik!

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

It was traditionally stuck on with waterglass.
If you can still get it.

I fitted a new rope gasket to our wood burner door using standard bathroom
silicon sealant. Its still there some years later.
