Nice  :wink: I actually used t-cut & polish under my bonnet when i first got my car (it was the first time i could even consider it so i was well keen) it looked great for about a month then went to crap again.  looking at your pics i think its time i did it again.

Now thats how a Mk1 engine bay should look like - well done... so what goodies did you use to clean it? (I use oven cleaner - works A1 on the engine itself)

Looks stunning Tara, mine looks like a sh1t heap under the bonnet  :embarassed: I've cleaned it up a few times, but some of the old parts are just tatty and need replacing.
