Mud in engine
So today I was filling my screen wash and as it overflowed a little puddle appeared under the car, thick with mud from Peterborough. When I got home I jetwashed the underside as best I could but didn't spray the engine bay for obvious reasons. Any advice on cleaning it out? I've considered wading a deep ford and dropping to access height but even that I don't think will have enough force to remove the mud, just wet it. Fitting underbody protection in a few weeks so it makes sense to be clean before then.

If you have a lawn spraying attachment for your hose pipe, set it up under the engine and change it's position a few times. This will get rid of most of it and it's not powerful enough to do any damage.
