On Sunday not got much to do and I've been meaning to give the engine a cleanup for ages  what can I use to clean the parts pointed at in yellow around the spark plugs? It's peeling/going rusty  and spoils the amazing 1.2 bay 
Cheers

Mine hasn't even done 30k yet but most it's journeys are short so I assume it's them that's made the bottom part look a little messy

Ah, mines done 84k so there all sorts of stuff leaked out over time, with it being mostly bare metal it shows up alot.

Seems like theres more going on in there . Was expecting them to be pretty much exactly the same.

I thought all the face lift models got 16v engines (aside from the 1.0 of course)?

Nah some were on the changeover, just getting rid of the last engines I presume so they tidied them up a little bit. Anything after S is either 16v or a 12volt AFAIK

You can't polish a turd... Ahem... Er.....
Jet wash the bugger after pouring a tin of gunk over it. It's DIS so it shouldn't cause too many issues.
