Deisel injector re-furb - TIM
Hi Guys, Many thanks to all the replies to a problem I had with a Volvo fuel injection system. The problem has defeated 2 main dealers, but the Volvo Owners Club (which I joined on-line) came up with a guy who sent me a whole load of info on the system. I will be an expert in a couple of days (when I've waded through the manuals) and then I'll be THE MAN to talk to.

I've got a new problem with the other motor now and I hope I can get a few good pointers. I've got a Range-Rover with a Nissan FD 35T 4cyl Turbo deisel engine it. The one thing I cannot find is a source of injectors or places to re-con the injectors. Loads of people say that they can do it, but when it comes to it they say the parts can't be found. Someone will sell me injectors but the bill will come to about £600. Does anybody know of a REALLY GOOD deisely sort of bloke who could help out.

Hi Tim,
Diesel Car magazine has loads of adverts for diesel specialists it may be worth buying one and making a few calls.
Mind you I haven't seen this mag in my town for quite a while but I assume theyr'e still around.

Tim,

Don't know where you are located, but I send a lot of work to Automarine Diesel, in Hove, West Sussex. Their telephone number is 01273-415296. Even if you are a long way away a call may be of help.

Regards, Adam

Tim,

Try Diesel Craft www.diesel-craft.co.uk

Also what about the Land Rover magazine adverts for the guys who carry out such conversions.

As a start can't a normal injector firm, found in the yellow pages, do a basic cleaning service? This may give the improvement you need.

At a slight tangent to this thread - I have a 90,000 mile Rover 420 td, it doesn't smoke, it does over 50mpg, should I think about injector servicing when it is next serviced or just leave well alone? It is running fine at the moment.

Leave it alone! Please.. - David Lacey
Just leave it alone - we have many identical Rover 220/420/620 models with the L series DI engine that have covered in excess of 180 000 miles with no injector or fuel system woes. MOT's are passed with ease (smoke test) In fact, the only major replacement was a blown turbo last week. My god, the accumulated oil in the exhaust system took a long time to go away!!
