Just went to clean my air filter and realised i have run out of the cleaner fluid so could i use anything else or shall i just wait until i can get some more ordered? thanks

Washing up liquid.

Thats what I have used in the past.

HTH

My brother used petrol once and it fetched it up a treat lol

Even though it was rinsed with plenty of water afterwards and thoroughly dried the car ran a bit funny for a few miles after it was refitted !!!

I just rinse my pipercross out with lukewarm water, press down it and watch the crap come out.
