When it comes to working on the engine i tend to steer clear but i have had a small leak on my fuel rail for a while now that needed dealing with. Today i set too & removed said item ( not an easy task in my opinion ) & replaced some seals & put it back together & it still works

So providing it doesn't catch fire between now & next weekend i am still going to Longbridge

So, just how did you refit the retaining clip on the rail/injector on cyl 2. I really struggled with my shovels for fingers

Mine was fitted on the opposite side to the others

Still it's been a while now and the skin has grown back........

Its a bloomin art form trying to get the green seals in without nipping them - well done that man.

So was mine, i was convinced i was going to drop it - not a job i would like to tackle again in a hurry.

Is this on the v6? If so well done, I hate those things! I always end up making them see-saw on the middle one.

Yes it is a V6, i just need to convince myself it is ok now, this is not the kind of job i would normally tackle. I am going to use it for getting to work this week just to make sure - Longbridge is a bit of a long journey for a trial run
