Oh to get a digital camera working! :wacko:

 

Tried cleaning under the bonnet today... Anyone know any good de greasers? Its not terrible under there, just a few spots I would like to get shiney!

 

use Jizer for underbonnet degreasing followed by a weak solution of TFR ,then pressure wash off...for a gleaming engine compartment

Jizer?? Never heard of it? Can you get it from Halfords then?

 

Yes I think I've seen it in Halfords :thumbs: but any heavy duty degreaser will do like "Gunk" etc.. by the way TFR stands for traffic film remover, this is good stuff but requires only a very weak solution :)

i use autoglym engine and machine cleaner on mine but I'm always too scared to hose the engine - can you really just put the hose pipe on it then?

 

I have pressure washed lots of my past car engines off with no problem. Not done the zed though as its not dirty :thumbs:

Nixy,

 

I've always pressure washed my car engines with the engine running. Never had any starting problems or any ther problems. I've done this on two Imprezas and my previous Zed. Works a treat! :thumbs:

call me silly but no way I'm going to pressure wash the Z tbh, unless I start wrapping all those electrical connectors into something! there's really quite a few plugs that I just can see getting damp from water ... MAF sensor plug, Throttle body plug, radiator fan plug and to on and so forth... :headhurt:
