Size varies depending on year like it does for stat & MAF bolts !
On a 51 Plate I'm replacing injectors on at the mo, the cam sensor bolt is Size E4. But could be E5 or E6 on later models

Complete overhaul, new nozzles, inlet port and seals

Sorry to hear that. Unlucky with such a low mileage. Could be that a previous owner had misfuelled the car as that could shorten the injector life.

Hope its fixed soon.

Hi, this post interested me as my scan tool , the latest version of sykes pickavant, shows glow plug positioner fault when I disconnect the cam sensor!!! with the cam sensor unplugged the car will not start, have nt tried easystart?
I only found this out when a customers car was intermittently not starting after a few miles journey!
cheers

Dont buy new injectors, send them to Alan at Lynx Diesels and for £420 you will have 4 perfectly balanced reconditioned injectors

just had a call from local garage and the mechanic says he has cracked open the fuel filter and it is full of black sludge and thinks someone may have been using bio deisel,he going to remove the fuel pump and inspect the tank,will let you know of any further updates

[bennyhill]

right, took car to garage and the said he had taken the injectors to be tested and they showed uneven pressure on all injectors and that they needed to be refurbished,he also stated the the high pressure fuel pump was u/s and needed to be replaced £££££££££,after 2 weeks he said the car would be ready to be picked up as he was nearly finished,after 10 mins he called back to say he could not get thecar to start when it was warmed up,but he knew what it was and should be ok the following morning,anyway i didn't hear anything from him so i rang him,only for him to say that he had a major problem starting the car again and after taking it for a test drive said it was running a bit lumpy and suspected that number 2 injector may be faulty and has returned it to the injection specialist to be looked at again,what worries me is that the symptoms he has experienced was the very same problem that i booked it in for in thefirst place,he said that the cause was someone possibly using cheap bio diesel which has damaged the pump and injectors,but how do i know this is true,also i have no idea what this is going to cost as he said he had not worked out a price yet,should i have to pay for expensive parts if has diagnosed the problem incorrectly ?......any advice would be welcome

Hi mate, it sounds to me like your mechanic has not got a clue. I would get a second oppinion before you pay him anything
