I'm wondering if this could be similar to my recent experience - suspected injector problems, but turned out to be fuel pressure regulator? It's also worth checking wiring harness/connectors to fuel rail sensor - apparently corroded terminals can cause problems. If injectors are the cause - I...

Just a final update, bill came in at £329, not too bad I suppose considering - could have been worse. Strange though that my bluetooth HF kit is no longer working - I suspect it's becuase it's located behind the dash where the diagnostic port (ODBII) is and somethings got disconnected. As the...

Responded... cheers

Chaser called it right with the regulator - spoke to garage earlier when they were just putting it back together - replaced the regulator and it be fixed. Not sure if just the o-ring could be changed or if whole valve had to go - not got the bill yet, but he said they'd changed the regulator and...

Tip - I bought a full set of 16inch wheels with tyres off ebay used - I found a set of 5 in great condition for £160 in the past - they 16's were 215's if I remember right? Your speedo may read slightly faster, but not by much. Having a sport model myself I can confirm that snow grip is better...

By the sounds of it he must be under 25 - even then it's steep!

I used nero 7 - just did a copy of the disk. Sorry I couldn't label them as couldn't for the life of me find a cd marker - guessed you'd be able to figure it out. Hope the Rave CD comes in handy - I found it useful for servicing and basic repairs.

Cheers Chaser - I'm going to take it into a local specialist in York and give em the lowdown on the symptons and what I've done with the injectors etc. I'll mention the advice I've had here, no doubt they'll want to do their own diagnostics (they mentioned autologic as the tool they use)...

Thanks Mikey, - will check with local dealers for price on part, if it's reasonable may have a go at it myself, but feeling a bit disheartened now and don't have much time or the facilities to keep going at this through the process of elimination. I think a local specialist may be the answer -...

Aye cheers chaser, it's worth a try - besides replacing with new part is there any way to tell if this is at fault? To get to this pressure control valve I assume inlet manifold has to come off again? If low fuel pressure at start is the problem would there be fault codes to pick up on, would...

Aye cheers saw that when looking for an answer on the net & it kind of gives the impression of compatibility - as I say the 049's appear to fit fine and work - but as per previous post I think I may have misdiagnosed leak back as the cause.

Update for those interested & thanks to those who've advised - the injectors were being replaced due to suspected leakback (a dribble, but was told can be enough) the refurb ones were fitted and fit fine, but - car still does not start without quick start spray :confused: Once going runs fine...

Hi all, possibly a question for the experts/seniors here (clutchy, optimus, ming etc). Having suspected injector leakback on my TD4 auto2004 I've ordered refurbs from a reputable seller on ebay (I say reputable - the MG forums recommend them and their feedback suggests plenty of happy...

Thanks Chaser - appreciate the advice!

Having recently had to disassemble various bits from the top of my engine (injector leakback issues) I noticed that the steel flexi pipe going from the egr cooling unit to the egr appears to be broken. Such fumes are escaping. Rather than replace this the plan is to use some fire putty/tape on...

Ok gave it a test with cranking the engine. Was expecting diesel to be spurting out of the faulty injector(s) - not so. More of a tiny dribble - they only just began to fill up the small hole where the leak off pipe is inserted. All 4 of them began to fill after quite a bit of cranking (was...

Another thing I should mention is that it's an auto (2004) I maybe wrong, but I think it's a different injector model to the manual gearbox (why, I don't have a clue) but would this affect the ability to recon/refurb?

Thanks for the info booboodag - will try the cranking method when I've some time. If you're happy to recommend the place you use I'd be grateful if you could PM me their details - may as well use somewhere that comes recommended rather than chance it elsewhere. Cheers

Sorry to hijack this thread - I'm having starting problems - works with easy-start in air intake, but that's the only way to get her going. Noticed it getting gradually harder to start recently, but now won't fire at all. Anyhoo - tried the leakback test with just fuel pump pressure and couldn't...

RichM's right, the manual won't fall into this ludicrous category - I say ludicrous as the only things that differ are the manufacturing dates - before Mar 2001 you're off the hook, Mar 2001 - Mar 2006, temporarily off the hook Mar 2006 onwards and you may as well be taxing a Range Rover (and...
