Engine Degreaser:~
 

Cleaning up the engine bay over the weekend and I had used up the normal Gunk cleaner:~

Tried this one shown as the reports had been quite positive and at a descent price, although I initially didn't built my hopes up I have been proved wrong- its a descent effective product at a good price for 5Llts.

It's all I use for the purpose, too. Cheap and effective, whatever the gradient :)

That is what I use Bob - good value and very effective.

Thanks for the tip, both Grace and Debs (the Capri) could use an engine scrub.

Off topic, but what's the shiny silver on the underside of your bonnet?

No problem:~
The product under the bonnet is self adhesive sound deadening- purchased in a sheet form and cut against a template shape to suit etc.

From memory via ebay (UK seller) provided the metal is clean it sticks well-you now have another cleaning job!
Regards Bob.

I use the same degreaser before painting / welding - it is very good. A capful used neat straight onto driveway oil patches also does an amazing job especially if you scrub it in and leave it overnight, then attack it with a jetwash.

Do you have a link to the sound deadening? I had to throw all of mine out, it was completely rotten. (Edit - I'm actually referring to the foam padding on the bulkhead under the fuel lines. Yours doesn't look OEM?)

The bulkhead insulation is a product called Hardura :~

The above link is for two classic car upholstery suppliers (others exist) and generally a good place to look- it now comes with a felt backing so a good soaking with a wax rust treatment is worthwhile, some years back it had a removable foam back but I've not seen this for some time.
The edge trim surround is also available from the above and it's a standard panel edge type that is pushed/pressed on etc.
Hope it helps.
