k managed to buy the seals for the injector, 94p inc VAT for both

HOPEFULLY it will work,
did take the manifold off today and cleaned it all up, and tightened the union, did get a twist in it, but not in the injector. its, calmed down a bit i think.

found that halfords have the diesel injector socket for £9, so guess ill be buying that. do i really need this? or can i just use a spanner??

WTF is a crow foot?? and whats it for??

oh and looking on ebay at these special sockets, whats the difference with these ones with "windows" cut into them??

many thanks everyone

See how it goes before you splash out any more cash!

Make sure the socket says Pug 2,1 on the box!

A crow's foot is something like this. It's for getting to stuff in awkward places.

The window in the sockets is for clearing wiring - the injector in your pic has the needle lift sensor on it too.

nup, all the socket says is Diesel Injector socket, 4got to catch the size, but i take it by saying "See how it goes before you splash out any more cash!" i could proberly get away with a spanner ??

Needle lift sensor?? is this something i should be worried about?? and what they look like??
god and im trying to be a mechanic lol i dont even know my way round the car lol

should i exercise any cautions when taking out the injector to put on the new seals??

is it just straight take off fuel pipe nut, then undo injector??

many thanks all

When I read your post above I thought you managed to nip the union up a little (?) so I was suggesting to see if it did the trick before you go a-messin' with the injector itself. I'm pretty sure you won't get a spanner to it, I didn't have one big enough myself but it looked to me like I'd have to grind half of it away to get it in there!

yeah i had the inlet manifold off to do up the union, but i got my mate down ats to ave a look first, and he got a spanner on the injector, as he tryed to do it up a bit, but it wouldnt,
so i had to take off the inlet manifold to get to the union.

guess i should get the fingy from halfordz then. just read the bit on the tourqe. n dont wanna ruin it.

cheerz

just to update,
i found the prob,
it wasnt the injector, maby had a bit to do with the union, but it was mainly a split spill pipe:)

eventually got the gut to dare and take out the injector, and got stumped by the electric/sensor thingy attached to injector 1, the poblem one lol, so anyhow, while i was thiking about removing the sensor thing, i just randomly popped of the spill pipes, and as i bent it, i discoverd a split.

anyhow, replaced it and its now all nice n dry

many thanks for all of ya help
