get your arse down to machine mart and pick up some of there de-greaser, my god is it potent, spray it over your engine agitate with a soft brush for a few seconds and then wash it off with ether pressure washer or just a hose. Will clean everything up a treat! Dropped my wheel bearing in some today as it was grinding and its taken all the grease off within 3 minueit's

Use Gunk or Jizzer, put it on and agitate with a brush, leave a few hours and repeat.
Cover all electrics with bags (preferably with cloths inside, just incase) and elastic bands to secure, then get stuck in with the pressure washer again being careful around the area where you have covered any electrics.
As said above, do it when running and upto temperature!

When I wrote that out initially I put after it (Thats a genuine product, don't burp the worm all over your engine!) then thought that I am too immature and people would think I am sick, so I removed it before submitting!
Glad I am not alone!

Another good one is to type any of the following into eBay;
TFR
Traffic Film Remover
Truck Wash
I hit it lucky and got 25 litres delievered for about £12/13 last year. It's bloody strong gear - I am rat arsed after 5 pints of it!
*Please do not drink the above products unless you have a death wish and/or an addiction to screen wash!*
