Fitted a new alternator on the legacy wagon today, hit 182,000kms during the week and it started getting noisy and the odd flash of lights on the dash, only took 10 minutes to fit it happy days..

Shiny part needs other shiny bits next to it, get it clean Johnny

Can't rememeber last time I opened the bonnet until this week

Ice blasting would do wonders on that.
Gives amazing results on engines and the likes

Tfr (traffic film remover) does the same job . The price of dry ice blasting is stupid as only cleans dirt and nothing else

Get engine warm and spray a matt dressing or dashboard cleaner on. Close bonnet. Leave it. Open bonnet. Clean and shiny.

Thats one thing I've never tried. I've used grease removers and engine cleaners, APC etc..
Will deffo try TFR man. Great

Works great, often done it myself. Tyre dressing would you believe works great also, and as you said, leave dry in, then buff off after a few hours

It's grand, it's a 07 and I don't think it's ever been cleaned or wiped down under the bonnet..
