Yes it works.

Nice car too.

How do you keep your engine bay that clean. Mines far from dirty but the manifold etc. isn't nearly as clean.

I'd also not realised how different the interior was with regards controls on the pre cat model.

I must get some piccies of mine on the web at some point. The only ones I have are the day I got it. I'd spent an hour in thunder and rain all my pics came out light blue instead of antique turquoise. Oh well I might get it cleaned and photo'ed this weekend.

Your leather is in top nick as well... any tips? I've been told to use a low foaming cleaner, nailbrush and elbow grease... then round it off with a protective cream.

As for your engine bay... you must be single without children!

yeh not bad for a "vintage" Griff! lots of TLC

as for the leather everyones got their favourite cleaning products and some are better than others especially on light leather colours, the best leather cleaner thats easily available has to be Auto-Glym Car Interior Shampoo in the pump spray bottles, used with a LINT FREE cloth it realy gets deep down into the leather and cleans excellently,with the help of a little elbow grease too of course, ive found its best to leave the areas that ive cleaned until absolutely dry before conditioning with Auto-Glym Leather Care Cream as the cream soaks in better and gives longer protection,then polish it with a clean lint free cloth and voila..new leather again..you might have to give really grubby leather 2 or 3 cleans.. i dont have that problem though! although i have got forearms like Popeye!

Yep, concur, it's good stuff... had it in the garage anyway but hadn't got around to trying it until this morning.. the nailbrush helps to work it into the 'lines' of grime... especially on the light cream leather..
