I recently carried out the 36k service and replaced the alternator belt. Whilst I was down there I decided that the front engine cover was due some renovation work as the ravages of winter and salt had caused the finish to corrode and it was looking decidedly scabby.
So, armed with a couple of wire brush attachments for the drill, some wire wool, 1500 grit wet and dry, a can of build primer and silver smooth hammerite I went to work.
After 20 minutes on the electric drill and some smoothing off with the wire wool all the loose paint and corrosion was removed.
I then set to work with newspaper and masking tape
