I will carry on bending your ear then!
Pigging phone doesn't want to load me a picture.
It was to the left of the pipe connected together with jubilee clips. May have to drag my lazy ass off sofa and fire up the laptop.

If you go anywhere near it with a pressure washer you'll flatten all the fins long before you risk holing anything!

I used a hose pipe and a litre of gunk!

I would not advise using a wire brush, you could damage the fins and even pull a fin hard enough to hole where they are welded to the channels.
The gunk is good, soak it and leave it a while then rinse off with water from a normal hose will be enough........but maybe it's clean enough now, and hopefully in good condition.

To be fair it was more of a suede shoe wire brush not a stiff wooden handled thing and just used it to scrape the oily gunk off as it was pretty thick in places.
As for the loss of acceleration could it be the MAP sensor which is above the air pipe that goes across the top of the engine. As it's only intermittent surely if it was a leaky pipe somewhere it would be constant?
Times like this I wish I had a heated garage..
Would strip it all down and sell the bits. Taking things apart I am good, at its putting it all back together I have a problem with..

But looking on the bright side, each time you tinker you can recoupe some money on ebay with the bits left over

Haha! Yeah I was kidding. But I did push it. It lost acceleration once. At full temp this time? As I said before no rythme nor reason just went it feels like it? Going to take a look at leaky area today if I can be a*sed.
