As far as he's concerned, the car IS over fuelling, regardless of what Gaz is saying with the fault coder. Graham is saying that worn injectors would not show up on a fault coder at all anyway and he prefers not to use them.
this is what i said in the first place supa

just put a set of injectors in it and change the oil,
and i think the injectors are over £100 each :shock:
