go to halfords and buy the engine cleaning kit you get to cans of spray, you spray the foam on then leave it for 5 min and it takes all the crap off, saves loads of hard work and if your sesible wont mess the engine up. You jet wash it off, just dont get carries away and spend 5 min soaking everything, cover up the elec bits and your laughing. iv done it loads of times and iv never had no probs on my corsa B 90k miles

Dunno if its any use, but Tris (infinity Corsa) had his engine bay steamcleaned by a company in kiddy. Only cost him £12, but it looks spotless now, even though the engines done nearly 50k.

Saves the hassle of doing it I suppose :D
