To clean..........

Seems to be a lot of room there, is there something missing? Mine's so full it just needs a flick over with a feather duster.

Looking good! Did mine last week and it came up nice. What's the function of the black pipe in the bottom left of the picture please? Noticed mine had come a bit loose whilst I was doing the clean up. I secured it with a cable tie. Yours looks as if it's just push fitted on. Tried this with mine, but could see it was always going to work its way to the point of slipping off completely, perhaps - hence the cable tie!

are you meaning the lagged aircon pipe?

Here's a pic of it - not to clear. It's the whiteish looking pipe in the pic below. You can just about make out the cable clip I used to secure it. Hope this will be okay?

it's an aircon pipe,lagged to keep it cold because it is next to the exhaust manifold..if the lagging is secure should be ok.

looks great, I cleaned mine a few weeks ago, problem is once you start it becomes part of the weekly wash n polish.

Thanks for that. Might even look into replacing the pipe, if the price is right, as it's looking a bit worn.

Interesting pictures, but has someone stolen the engine looks empty compared to mine.

Clean but missing bits maybe.
