No it's been the topic of discussion before, not about the nessesity, take that as read, but about what to use.

part of one of the big service on defender I think, got a tub of alcohol to clean mine and see if any difference  just not had time to get it off. when I undone the bottom pipe their was a little bit of a greasy coating inside, so assume same inside the intercooler (mine is a defender)
