Any recommendations?*
I'm sure we've done this one before but I'm looking for a cheap bulk degreaser (up to 5 litres?) so long as it won't damage paintwork etc.
Fed up with bike shop stuff that 'smells of oranges' and costs £8 a litre
*Please, not 'diesel' or 'fuel oil' 
Jizer, accept no substitutes, make sure it's the full fat version not the Eco freindly one.

I use Fenwicks FS-1. It doesn't smell of oranges and costs £9.99 a litre
Tesco sell one, a spray thats part of a 3-step system. Seems to work well.
If its bad then good old Gunk.
Or fire, & lots of it.
Stuff from pound land is ok and costs, well a pound.
But a +1 for the full fat jizer. Proper degreaser. Just don't get it on your disk pads. I normally strip the chain off a couple if times a year and give it a bath in the stuff. I think its around £20 for a 5 litre can.
+1 for the 5l Jizer. Get it in a Motor Factors.
white spirit - cheap as chips from B&Q
EDIT: doesn't smell like oranges but does smell, strangely, of white spirit
MP9. Considerably cheaper than chips. Dilute to personal preference. Wear gloves unless you fancy skin drier than a 10,000 year old Pharaoh...
Bugger I was going to recommend diesel becuase its cheap (relative) does a fantastic job, and probably no less eco friendly than any other product.
Gonna hijack this one - Analogueandy, could you mail me ref Wednesday rides in bath please.

Cheers for the recommendations, 5l Jizer ordered
tranaspp - ygm
i like the orange stuff, you can get it on your hands and it doesn't hurt. also it smells of oranges.
dunno about its degreasing properties mind
analogueandy - where did you get the jizer from bud? gonna get myself some!
Machine Mart sell it, or look for an industrial supplies type outlet.
cheers liftman - can you water this down also? im looking to maily use it for chains/cassette rather than muc offs incredibly expesive cans for 8 quid for 500ml 
will it do the same job assuming its a powerful degrease?
is this the one?
If you want a bodge use biodiesel, it's extremely effective and biodegradeable tho. Personally tho I wouldn't use it (or diesel) cos it feels a bit oily.
Thats the one, cant dilute it with water, you rinse it off with water.
You are cheaper buying it in the 5 litre tins.
you dont need to use much as its powerfull stuff
cheers im gonna order one then! 20quid for 5 litres beats 6-8quid for a 500ml can
can always stick it in a spray can and spray directly onto cassette etc...
Tis what i do, some jizer in an old muck off spray bottle.
may be able to get some ordered into work for 12quid a can too! bonus!
OW tis what i do but dont tell the boss
