All I would recommend is next time you clean the car, clean the bodywork inside the engine bay. It will help you notice any leaks etc.

Cars thesedays are covered with lots of plastic vanity plates so you can't see most of what you are looking at.
Would it be worth replacing the cylinder head or would a cleaning sort it since as you say it wont have effected the inner workings?

Thats sounds like good advice thanks.

yeah I noticed that when I was looking in the engine bay of my mates Clio

lol, so true, I hate using maps and getting directions so much that I invested in a gps, though thats also because my sense of direction is awful outisde of my home town and map reading takes too long (theres also the fact that im a bit of a gadget freak so I love any excuse to try out some technology )
