I am going to be brave here and offer profound appologies to Simon for slagging him for his retail prices. Having seen how clean his engine bays are, I must say I am more than impressed. I for one would buy from him as they all seem to be serviced and cambelt serviced before you get them. Looking back, I think I need to engage the brain before engaging the keyboard.
For that Simon I appologise publicly and also I have sent you a PM as well

Feb 2010 at 21:55 This is my engine bay - I just wipe it over whenever I wash the car, not a fan of the silicone look as I always think that the stuff manages to get on places you don't want it, like the windscreen!

Feb 2010 at 02:10 i dont use silicone, i keep before and after pics, i use plastic enhanser, just on the plastic bits, not on the metal. people spending their savings on a new motor usualy like them mint to make it worth coming to get the car, but if show them the before pics, they see it was ok but now is like new.

And not a hint of silicon spray Thumbs Up!

Nowt wrong wi' a bit of silicon spray here & there, just so long as it's not drowned in the stuff. Thumbs Up!

I see Mick's only lost one plenum blank! Roll Eyes

Which is 1 more than it had when it arrived (I only had 1 spare)

The blank has ben replaced, as has the coolant cap and oil filler cap with the chrome one, the engines just a wee bit dusty at the moment but still clean Thumbs Up!
