Thanks,

Hi Jim

I can't PM you at the moment but have purchased a set of browntops from gofaster_740 on here. They're untested, i'm just wondering if i can arrange for cleaning and testing from yourself (heard good things). The intent would be to send them to you directly once i've settled the payment and then you can perhaps send them on to me. If you PM me with details i'll get back to you soon as i can.

Thanks

Would like to thank Jim for spending the time doing my spare set of Focus RS injectors for my Focus ST ready for installation in a couple of weeks.

The kit he has and attention to detail is amazing, definately worth it and I have a nice set of perfect injectors ready for use. Also had a nice cuppa whilst I was there.

Will be looking forward to getting my ST injectors cleaned once they are out of the car, will be intresting to see the results of these...

Hi Jim

Can't sit up any longer tonight reading all this thread to answer my own question.
Question is - Are you doing diesels yet?

Thanks

Default Diesel Injectors?

In a word no. Their not like petrol injectors, more often than not they will need replacement parts, and there are far too many to keep them all in stock. I can test and clean the older mechanical ones, but the test is just a visual pattern test. Modern diesels run at extremely high pressure and when they fail, probably the best option is replacement.
