Angry Anyone need any coal

Took the engine cover off last night and noticed this, leaking injector.
Just ordered new washers from a diesel specialist so will be doing all 5 this weekend. Thankfully we use the same extractor tool and cleaning tool at work so shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Got it soaking in brake cleaner at the moment.

ouch - the infamous black death! A good example of why we all should regularly remove the cover to check all is well underneath.

Only had the car 3 weeks, didn’t remove the engine cover when viewing. I was more focused on the AWD system working properly, hopefully it’s just the £5:40 cost of the washers to put it right.

So after several attempts at getting the new split ring onto the injectors I decided to fashion a tool.
Basically it’s an olive from a compression coupling brazed to my circlip pliers, simple but effective and saved a lot of swearing.
Just used it to get it past the first groove in the injector then pushed the ring the rest of the way with the old clamping ring.
