Jet washing ?

Water + Electrics + French Production = Bad! Some degreaser, damp cloth and that thing in your arm works well mate!
my non-sport did that for a while... remove the fuse from the passenger side panel of the dash and leave it out for a few hours, replace fuse and it will reset it back to working normally again
and best bet with the bay is to attack it with degreaser/WD-40 and alot of elbow grease as said above

Ok cool il give that fuse ago
top man, it will sort it
steam is water no?
haha, if you absolutely had to I would recommend waterproofing all the electrics with bags and tape etc first....
but bear in mind: steam will get in places that water wouldn't and will condense back into water once it cools so may cause problems

Keep the bonnet closed and don't look in there. I find this works.

Lol yes I know but it's not going to soak everything like a pressure washer. I doubt it's something ill do just my mum got this little steam cleaner thing and I thought if I get the chance one day I may have a little crack.
As tony said though I generally just try not too look I certainly don't plan on showing it off anytime soon haha. I'd probably only use it on the inlet area to clean the grease and oil residue away any way.
and I know the feeling, 'luckily' my engine broke and I took a day in between removal and fitting the new one to do mine by hand with WD-40, but mine won't be on show either, if it is only that area you are after doing then cover the rest with a plastic sheet, clean with steam cleaner, then go over it with WD-40 afterwards to clear out any water that might have got in
Yeah doubt I'll bother tbh lol not worth the risk. I have lost all interest in all this cleaning lark these days anyway, only cleaned the bloody thing once since I got it in January
I'm going to clean it next few days though as this weather is bit better now.
that is bad! :nono:
haha sure you will get some love back for cleaning once you see how shiny it looks

When the engine blew 2yrs ago, I still didn't like getting the steam cleaner in there, didn't seem right.
