For all your plastic / rubber on the engine use this with a small detail brush.
It knocks spots off all the expensive stuff..

No 88 - gone but never forgotten.....
Ive used the autogym stuff and it is no miricle worker but helps dissolve grease.
If I was you I would do a bit at a time and do it slowly and carefully without too much water.
yes I use the Autoglym engine / machine cleaner and degreaser, its good. I used it on my Mustang's engine etc, then power hosed off and it came up really well. Will also use it on my R200 that currently has engine removed and front end completely striped.
Ill be honest, Im not patient enough do use a cloth as I want a thorough job in all the hard to reach places. So I think I might risk the steam clean but I'll have a read of the link Herman posted up

WD40....try it...amazing as a cleaner but use it sparingly and not on a hot engine. Otherwise elbow grease and patience and auto glym. MGZTV8 Agreed Valuation Insurance June 2011 004.jpg
ZTV8 gone...Lotus gone....RV8 now lives happily in garage with Matra Bagheera and Aston Martin DB7
get a pump up garden sprayers, they have enough pressure to get most stuff off, plus brush the cleaner into the bad areas spray off with engine running, aviod spraying the belt as you will get a face full. and all good a clean and the heat dries it, apply silicon spray or engine dressing to the plastic and good as new.

Good thing with the TVR you can't see much of the engine.
My ZT before going back to standard. Believe the engine bays stay pretty clean because of the undertray.

Not long after i got the car and fitted the accufab
