Hi everbody!

I'm the proud owner of a 2006 TDV8 3.6 Range Rover.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a leak caused by the injector.
Now my garage told me they need to change the seals of four of the 8 cylinders, but only full kits are available, not only seals.
That would amount to 400 Euros, as each set for one cylinder costs around 100 Euros.

Does any of you have an idea where to get spare seals only, for above model?

Thanks a lot!!

These kits from a Landrover agent (Rimmer Bros) are £63.56 each or 74.23 Euro. Unless the 100 Euro includes fitting, which would be a bit steep, they are having you on.

So there really is no way to get only the seals? I wonder why, looks like some kind of rip off?
Would you mind pointing me to your seller, maybe I can order from there, 74 is better than 100 at least...

I already did, Rimmer Bros. Rimmer Brothers - Triumph Car Parts, MG Rover Car Parts, and Land Rover Car Parts and Spares But there are different kits for different injectors so they must be handed. So you will need to tell them the cylinder numbers appropriate to your needs.

Sorry didn't realise that. Too bad the seals aren't available separately.

Don't know what they look like, kits look to be injection pipes to me. But don't forget common rail is under a considerably higher pressure than a normal injection system. They maybe single use items.
