I have acquired a fair number of dead insects (3000 km trip visiting relations in Northern Finland) and am concerned they may upset the cooling airflow.

Has anyone tried to clean insect debris from these components?

Maybe there is a "howto" to get to the front of them - removing front grills?

Thankyou.

Front grills don't come off separately you need to remove full bumper. Not too difficult to do. Compressed air, blow them out or soft brush? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Get some peacocks for the garden, they will clean the car of insects!

Don't have too many peacocks here!!, but the local birds do eat the insects off the front of the car.

I found a thread which describes removing the front, to allow access.

Has anyone done it and, if so, how heavy is it?

Have you tried putting a sprinkler on them for an hour to soak them. They should wash off after that. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Thanks again.

When I get a chance, I will do it.
