loose injector?!?
« on: 03 February 2007, 18:05 »
I've just been out to give the valver the first once over of the year, wash, polish and general tidy up!

Any way, was giving the engine bay a quick wipe over and noticed that #3 injector is loose, enough to fall out if you knock the fuel line?!

Wat gives here then, started it up and starts and runs fine, I've got new seals etc.. ordered should be here tuesday, but I'll have to run it with a wobbly injector for a couple of days.

hope it will be OK?

Have you actually tried pulling it out? If it looks that unstable then I would personally beg/borrow/steal another car until you have sorted the problem. Unless you want to see your car go up in smoke of course :)

yep it comes out quite easily!

I've been driving this way for weeks I guess...

I've got a couple of spare injectors, I'll see if the seals are any better on them!
