Breathing difficulties

Well, its been a quiet day this weekend, and I was bored, so removed my egr valve, in order to clean the crud out.

When i saw the state of the inlet manifold, I thought I had better clean that too.

Sadly, I was that eager to crack on with the cleaning, that I neglected to take any photos.

However, with only 103k on the clock its amazing that the poor old girl has kept on going so well.

The are both nice and clean now though, courtesy to a drop of diesel, an old toothbrush, an alloy wheel cleaning brush, and a quick run through the dishwasher with a couple of fairy active bursts. (Shush, don't tell the mrs.)
