Haven't seen anyone in ages and could do with a chance to help someone.

Thanks for pointing out Southampton I will update my profile.
So many changes of address required I forgot this one.

Hi all!

Many thanks for the offer to pop down macafee, only just seen your reply saying you are closer than Southhampton!
Apologise for not reading it sooner, or I would of said pop down.

Many thanks to everyone for links, offers of help and advice!

Sprinter came down ( Paul ) and helped me out. A very big thank you to Paul for his expertise, and use of his tyre lever!
Number 2 injector popped out without giving any fight at all!

A big thanks for being a second pair of eyes and pointing out why the fuel lines wouldn't line up with the replacement injector fitted!

Very nice to meet and chat with you!

Unfortunately though, I still have an over-fueling issue.
The car drives fine, but is chucking out quite a cloud when revved.
You cant really see anything driving the car, if you do give the loud pedal a bit of stick you can see a "haze" out of the rear window, but its when at tickover when revved it clouds up quite bad!

I was told it may turn out I need number 3 injector also, but we'll see if it calms down any after I've put a few miles on it.

glad you got the injector out, I have seen horror stories and it is a job I fear.

Richard what colour is the cloud when given the hot foot or revved ? black cloud or more white/ grey cloud.

[Odd Job]

It's black. Really thick black choking soot / smoke. Thats with the car fully up to temperature.

I'm not sure what the next step is.
There does't seem to be any residue around the intercooler pipe where the seals go. All appears to be good.
If it's drawing air in from somewhere that can cause it to smoke i've been told.

Same thing happened to me: suggest really tighten Jubilee clip by EGR - or better still change the big fat tube for one of Jules' new multi-ply silicone jobbies. (Cost about £70 if I remember).
