any advice on good or bad makes and the best degreaser to use would be appreciated

you try some g101?good for engine bay's

 

The Clarke stuff at Machine Mart is fine.

A lot of people also seem to use Jizer even though it's not listed as suitable for parts washers.

 

cheers guys ,i will look into those options

 

I've got an old safety Kleen washer you can find them on eBay as with fluid parafinn mix jizer

 

I found the machine mart stuff to be shite, better using cheap washing up liquid from supermarket!

Currently got a drum of jizer in there so see how that goes, seems better so far. There's also comma stuff and gunk.

Get down to motor factors and ask em about the drums of degreaser/cleaning fluid.

 

I got a cheap copy of the Clarke big floor standing washer, purely cause its a good base, simple too. If the pump eventually goes ill buy a Clarke proper one, only a 15 minute job to swap. Seems fine at moment though.

In essence it's just a metal tank with a pump in it, I wouldn't want to pay over the odds for someone putting a fancy sticker on the front.

Check makro etc, think mine was from JTF. less than £100. Came with shelf and deep tray for smaller parts too, proper o ringed drain plug and self closing fire hinge too.

Though I had to drill a couple holes different for the lid opener cause it only opened abut 45 degrees, now goes about 85 and closes about half inch short. Which is fine cause I put stuff on it when not in use anyway.
