i'd cry if i wasn't a man!!!

Hi all, just had all my injectors on my TD5 Disco check on a test bed, and every one was kna@@@red:doh: every one was at lest 60% down on what it should have been, so i've had to bit the bullet, again, and shell out £900 for some recon ones, why ho why do i do it, if it was any other vehicle i would have scrapped it i think i need another lay down......wibble

You love it really, if it didn't break you'll be board

Should have bought a 300 tdi. Sorry I know that is not particularly helpful but TD5 is land rover code for financial pain.

I'm a bit suspicious of this to be honest- all 5 were knackered???? That sounds highly unusual.

Anyway, I hope all is running well now?

£85 each, so x 5 is £425 + fitting.

ups! lol

still... cheap!

:doh:thanks for depressing me even more, i should have looked first.....i'd like to think that they are post face lift, that way i won't feel so bad (mines pre face lift) and the injectors were test by a reputable firm in norwich so have no reason to disbelive them.....and aparently its quiet common on VW's

I have 5 spare 10p injectors sat in my shed. They came with the secondhand cylinder head I bought. I had planned on selling em on but thought they were worth more to keep. Looks like I was right.

i would defo save them, you just never know when you might need them, all my troubles started when i had the seals and washed done because of diesel in the oil

It is on the new VW's but not usually on all of em at once. They usually cut out and then won't fire at all if an injector is faulty.

I've never heard of 5 TD5 injectors going down all at once. Are you sure that the diesel in the oil isn't down to a cracked cylinder head?

Apart from the diesel in the oil did you have any other symptoms?

Did they supply the reconditioned ones?

Got my disco back tonight, everything is back to normal I fact I would say better than before. But it's early day yet and I haven't put my foot down to much yet, as for the injectors I did have the option of the old ones back so I could just put them back in and sell her as is, but I like her to much, and the indi that I go to are pretty honest to, yes I know hard to believe but it's true....

Anyway she's back to normal for now, until the next time, why ho why do we disco owners alway say that

And for those that are wondering why my disco's a she, is because like most women (except my wife that is) they are high maintence I should have listened to my mum....
