Show your Engine Bay

Show your Engine Bay
I have been looking through the XJS site and some of the engine bays are simply stunning.
I would love to get mine like some of them one day, but more of an original look rather than a "pimp my ride" look.
Can I have a show of pictures of your engine bay please and a story about the process of getting it there.
Thanks.
Gee.

Thanks, sorry, must have missed it.
I was just looking to see if there is any wisdom on things like (for example) wrapping up certain connections and so on before cleaning - the knowledge on this forum is incredible, and those sorts of hints can save you a right headache when you try something for the first time, so often worth asking. Will have a Google.

Richard,
Follow Gregs recommendation PLEASE.
Way beck, before Google, yes I am that old, I simply washed all the Jag engines as needed.
The only one that got hissy was the MK X, that would have been 1975ish, but 3 days out in 44C Summer sun with the bonnet open, sorted that.
The V12's were all fine, BUT, and this is hindsight from me, I had done ALL the wiring/connector "catch up", so I knew there were NO suspect connectors to ruin the day.
I only used P/pack degreaser and the garden hose, NO Hi-pressure stuff ever.
The X300 onward NO WAY, even I am not that silly.
The current pair, get wiped down when I am in the mood, and that is rare these days.
ONCE AGAIN, follow what Greg said, and ensure the beer fridge is full, just in case.
