    Fairy degreaser in the green bottle does a miracle on oily engine bays.

    used some gunk degreaser.

    cleaned the calipers up, cant get the hubs off though, bolts are rounding off!

    ive cleaned and sprayed the rad and a big pipe at the front(dont know what it is!).

    re-taped all the wires (where can i get some of that heat shielding cloth tape from?!

    going to order all the new parts tomorrow.

    ..hard work but got to keep going.
