Hi there,
Thought I'd get my posts up in one go this morning.
I'd like to get under the bonnet and give the engine cleaned up and looking tidy - would anyone recommend anything that is good to use for cleaning the different parts, and also if there's anything to avoid (don't want to use anything that will do it more harm than good!)
any help much appreciated as always

I usually use Gunk spray on & rinse it off with a gentle spray from a hose & dry by hand.
Have a look though the detailing forum, there are some pros on here that use some more specialised cleaners.

I use tyre foam. Spray it all the engine let all the dirt drip off and then dry with a cloth shiny and clean
