OK but given the level of dust on mine now it is fairly essential & unless i absolutely insisted they didn\'t is guna be done, so other than filters & alarm & them not going OTT with super high pressure boiling water 
setting on filters & alarm 
anything which is best avoided?

Best to avoid any electrical connections, intake, abs, fuse boxes, alternator, coil packs, intercoolers,water radiator, oil coolers................
Use a rag and some elbow grease and a six pack ready in the fridge for when you\'re done, far safer :)
Clean first, then beers though ;)
