You probably should not pressure wash your engine bay. You might get some ill effects. But then again I pressure wash my D90's engine. But I would not do it on my D2 or RRC. I have spent a lot of time sealing up the 90 so I fell confidant that I will not get any water in anything. But for the D2 and RRC I just use foaming engine degrease stuff and the hose to get rid of everything. I am afraid that if I used my pressure washer on them I would destroy a lot of electrical stuff. Especially on my RRC.

I had a 90 years ago that I steam cleaned after a particularly mudy day out . So I took it to a so called "expert" (x is a has been, spert is a drip under presure) what a hash he made of it I had to strip and clean the carbs, rota arm and all the engine bay electrics.
I have not had my Disco (Basil) done but I am thinking about it as it is deisel not petrol.

Say, while we're here.. what do you have to be careful about with the foaming engine degreaser, as to what parts to not dissolve, etc.?
Low pressure water and a good mild degreaser. Cover electronics well and dry out. I put dialectric grease on the connections to help prevent water issues
what Andy said above.
you don't need a steam cleaner to clean you engine bay.
i just use a hose and a jet type sprayer.
but i coat the engine first w/ a diluted mix of castrol super clean and water.
try to avoid directly spraying on coil pack and ecu and you'll be fine.
i do this regularly and have had no ill effects.
yes my engine and drive train are cleaner than the body...
