I'm not sure, but if you are after cheap, Halfrauds have a 3 for 2 offer on all their car cleaning products at the moment.

Comma engine degreaser from Wilco - does the job, water soluble and does not stink like Gunk :roll:

Actually, if you want cheap and don't mind being seen in Poundland, get some of this Elbow Grease, it's actually surprisingly good and only a pound a pop.

I've used Gunk engine degreaser which brought a very 'gunked' intake manifold back to new. Yet to tackle the engine block and gearbox with it yet but it's strong stuff.

Of course the Bilt Hamber stuff is well reknowned, just not had the chance to use it.
