I only covered the alarm housing and cut a bit of cardboard out to cover the fins on the intercooler. Just borrowed the old mans jet wash.

Terzo228 - cheers mate, it made a world of difference. I swear the car is going a little better, she must be grateful.

D6ale - No I did'nt leave the engine running. You just 'warm' the engine up and then spray the stuff on, after 10 mins jet wash off.
