nice, u planning on a respray? And a bit of constructive criticism....try and straighten the urrr....Drivers side(for you) fog light, looks a bit wonky

Will look good when lowered

How did you clean the engine bay?

**Posted:** Sun Apr 27, 2008 6:57 pm

Very nice, agree on the fog light

I totally gasped when I saw that first bonnet pic! But new paint looks great!

**Posted:** Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:12 pm

Thanks.
The fog light is already straight by me.
The guy who mounted the fog lights said they have no more ajustment. lol

I cleaned the engine with some engine cleaner product and a "water pression machine" (don't know if thats the name)

**Posted:** Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:16 pm

Hmmm either a pressure washer(doubt it :S) or a steam cleaner?....I was gonna do it but would be scared to damage the engine

Ahh, just had another look and seems you already sorted the paint problem

**Posted:** Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:19 pm

With a pressure washer after apliyng the product, with engine cold.

**Posted:** Sun Apr 27, 2008 7:21 pm

This was the only update worth of showing it:

**Posted:** Sun Mar 08, 2009 11:14 pm

very tidy under the bonnet mate - apart from your coolant bottle
may i suggest you try the "stu spel fluid bottle cleaning method"

:laughing6: yes you read it right, the inside of your power steering reservoir, and indeed the out
side too.

Last night on MSN, Steve B asked if I'd ever attempted to do the above. I hadnt but instantly had intentions to, so today I did just that.

Undoing the 10mm bolt securing it then syphoning it empty I released both clips holding the pipes on. The smaller one is odd as once off - it keeps filling up and getting to the top really slowly :shock:

Both pipes were then held upright with string to avoid air pockets and leaks. the reservoir was then transfered to the kitchen for clensing. I opted for my trusty nail brush on the outsides, but it didnt do such a good job.....

I then moved onto my tried and tested 'coolant' method by filling it with boiling water and dropping in a dishwasher tablet, whilst submerging it in hot bleachy water :thumbup:

Sparkling results too, after a visit to our lasses hairdryer to ensure the insides contained zero moisture, I refilled it after attaching both pipes - tipping it forwards to expel any air bubbles. Mmmmm clean :love7:
