Any tips on how to clean an engine, or where to take the car?

Just wondering the best way of doing this and if anyone knows of a place around the Wolverhampton area?

Gunk spray and a stiff brush works best. Messy and awkward to get into some bits, but the engine bay comes up nice, worth the effort.

As above,de greaser,white spirit (make sure the engine is cold) and a little bit of time and effort will give satisfying results. I don't like pressure washers under the bonnet, tried it once and it created a few problems..
