"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Re: Injectors
Im thinking that they would need recond some time the state they are in.
What if i leave them sitting in thinners, or petrol?

Re: Injectors
i dont plan to sell them, and the car did have a fuel related problem.
Re: Injectors
Jam jar is right mate,
just wrap them in cling film and put them in a box,
Theyre worth good money to the right person,
ive just sold a transit derv pump and a set of injectors and the buyer didnt haggle at a Grand,
Just get a price for injectors from the main stealers and you will know why people will pay good money for stuff like this ,

Re: Injectors
If you hunt around on ebay there are a few firms providing an injector cleaning service (they stick them in a bath of some sort of solvent, stir it with an ultrasonic "thingy" and power the injector tip to get any much out.FarmerPug wrote:Im thinking that they would need recond some time the state they are in.

Be a bugger if you went to the trouble of changing the injectors to find that the ones you put in are in the same condition.

Re: Injectors
The injector cleaner that you add to the tank is nothing like having them properly cleaned by machine.

Re: Injectors
When I thought I had a problem with injectors I rang a firm we use at work, Carwoods, they told me £28 IIRC to recon an injector, but they do a free test first to see if it needs doing. The £28 may have had a bit of a discount due to us pushing loads of work there way but I imagine it was only a couple of quid.

we even ended up going to fords for a new starter motor that was £250 excl vat they let the vat slide as a goodwill gesture,
the parts isold was brandnew boxed items they wernt secound hand ones,
iwont tell you how much they was when they was bought from fords as you wont beleive me
