For anyone whos had the leaky rocker gasket (a la me!) you'll know what a state the engine bay gets into. I dont have access to a steamer, or i'd just steam the mo-fo into cleanliness. So Im gonna have to clean it by hand.

Any recommendations for what to use?! I hate seeing the engine area all dirty :(

try stuff called CD2

u get it in halfords comes in a brightly coloured box for about £7

2 aerosol cans,

firstly the degreasent, fire it on and leave for 10 mins, then hose off (or pressure wash)

then detailer - kinda greasy stuff that shines up your pipes and plastic, just cover ur paint when you use this as its silicone based and a bit of a bastard to get off bodywork,

good stuff at a decent price!
