Oven cleaner on aluminium is not a good idea however.

Indeed, it is Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda).

you can use oven cleaner. just don't leave it on for ages, not that you need to, as it loosens the carbon in like 5mins.

Petrol if you can stomach the cost.

All the yanks are going on about walnut blasting......

Same car, same solution lol, also worked a treat on my Mondeo V6.

As a thread update, I did this except I left it soaked in a tub full of petrol over night (£15 worth of fuel!).

Worked like a charm and the misfire/dodgy idle has totally gone.
