Ha ha I didn't forget it!?

Any update on this?

You can call me Angelo

Wahay that's made my day - the video was mine - glad it's helped someone. I have taken all four out again since and it was as easy as the last time. However the engine must me hot - I tried it cold and it doesn't work easily. I have also done it by using the same technique but with a stubborn...

Yes if they follow up great. Rover Ron has been great as have people responding here. Special thanks to eightinavee for a very informative response. They won't do anything for a few weeks because of holidays do watch this space.

Been back down to the diesel company because the owner wanted to drive it. He was very good in feeling it right away but at a loss to identify what it is. He did say it is not beyond the realms of possibility that I have had two injectors off them that have a fault not showing up on their test...

Here is part of a print out of one of my injectors - the company testing say they are good but I notice there are some fails - does anyone know if these have any significance? Just done a manual leak back test and it seems fine - small amount from each nicely matched

To be fair to the company I used they are well respected and have significant businesses in both Cardiff and Swansea. They did test all my injectors again and gave me print outs - there are some fails in the sub categories but they explained the significance of these and said they were in effect...

Re photo in previous post - I just realised you may have thought that I thought these were compression readings - I know they are not and they are compensation fueling readings at tick over.

Thanks this is helpful - I really don't want to buy 4 Bosch injectors as the cost is a bit much for an older vehicle. I think the LR indie checked compression on an Autologic unit. Here is a photo of the readings before the latest Injector swap. In this case my suspect recon injector was...

I asked Rover Ron for any advice - I am sure he won't mind me pasting his comments as they may help others - I have done most of these but not all so more to try. Hi Angelo, Have you checked the turbo vnt mechanism, the vacuum pipes to the vnt actuator and solenoid, and removed and cleaned the...

We had the car up on a ramps with all wheels off the ground and ran it - no signs of bent wheels or out of true Tyres - the wobble is only on acceleration and really noticeable in 2nd gear. It stops if I lift off the accelerator. All Tyres were new and balanced and matched - been on 18 months...

Ok they swapped out the injector and gave another plus tested my other 3 - I refitted today and the miss or wobble was significantly reduced - much softer BUT it has returned - not quite as bad but noticeable. I don't know what else to try!

They are in denial - well said. You echo my thoughts exactly. To me it's clear - there is a miss under initial load - it shakes the engine and then clears. There is overfilling at Rick over one the cylinder that has the injector they sold me - they cannot test under load on the car do I have...

Same here and I have the kit for that. City are giving me a bit if a run around I think - don't think I will use them again unless things improve. I have taken out the 4 injectors ( got it down to less than 1 hour now!!!) and am taking them in for testing again tomorrow.

Well the saga continues - They asked me to bring in the car which I did - the plugged it into their Diagnostic and said all was ok!!! A little difference in Cylinder 4 but not enough to make it miss. HOWEVER they cannot see what happens under load!!! Doh! Why ask me to bring it in then. So it's...

Silly question but with engine off and wheel in the air does pressing the pedal stop someone turning the wheel? You are sure the pistons are moving aren't you?

Yes my thinking is that it's an injector failing under a rev load range which sets up a wobble until it sorts itself out.

Hi mj - I would normally be going but I took a very early retirement this year so between trying to get some work done around the house and sorting this out I between bouts of stupid weather I am running late. I will probably do a UK trip this year. Thanks for the offer - hopefully it will be...

I start off in First so no probs there. I have changed the rear diff mounts, the VCU hangers and the front lower engine tie rod. I took the left hand gear box engine mount apart - all good there and I put a camera on the right engine mount again all good. I have had the car on ramps with 4...
