    Problem 1: one of the fuel lines is kinked, so could do with being replaced. I’ve looked on the parts fiche and it doesn’t appear that parts are available separately, you have to buy the whole lot including injectors etc etc
    Problem 2: one of the torx bolts that holds the injector into it’s mount has taken the brass insert with it. I did heat it up to soften the threadlock but there you go. I could do with buying just the plastic injector holder that holds the injector above the throttle body, but again it’s not listed separately.
    Any ideas?
     
  2. Even worse the complete unit isn't available anymore either

  4. Heat gun may get the kink out of the pipe
     
  5. Shit the bed, wish I’d never started. If I can get the torx bolt out of the brass insert I’m laughing, I reckon the insert will araldite back into the injector holder easily. Good call on the heat gun to remove the kink.
     
  6. put a 999 one on...

  10. Good man. I have a spanner monkey working on the brass bolt and insert tomorrow. I will be in touch if it all goes turd shaped. Don’t suppose you have a pic of the injector holder to be sure it’s the same?

  12. 61693850-7DC5-4653-AEAD-D8488E803248.jpeg We have success. Brass insert and bolt have parted company without being mullered. Injectors off for cleaning, fuel pipe de-kinked. 999 injector mount has a different top, maybe would have fitted anyway? Thanks for the offer andyb.
