  1. Okay thank you, no haven't got the old ones.
  2. Ok I've finally got the injectors nearly ready but I need to source new copper washers to seal them, I've found a copper Sump washer the correct measures will that be ok? Just wondering if the deeper engine position or higher heat of the Sump will mean the washers are treated differently somehow? Really hoping to get this done today!
  3. Yes I was a bit surprised too, its a well known shop with a good reputation. But yes I'm going to try to source parts and find somewhere else. Yes I checked the manual and it refers to it as retaining nut - looks like a threaded end cap into which the nozzle would sit
  4. Thank you Tony, I'd suspected as much, and have heard a bit about spray patterns etc. If I can get a professional to do the work I then I will, otherwise Im leaning towards getting the full assemblies to be safe
  5. Ok so the shop cant carry out the repairs as can't source new retaining nuts. I can get them direct from manufacturers and can source new nozzles easy enough, so I'm thinking of doing the repairs myself. My concern is are the other parts that make up the injector likely to be worn / wear out soon? If so I might be better forking out for full assemblies maybe? Plus I'm not very experienced so is this a job I should even be thinking of taking on do you think? Thanks in advance, jim
  6. Perfect thanks again Tony really appreciate the help
  7. Okay thats them out and off to the shop, thanks again everyone. Just a quick question now - I can see the ends of the glow plugs through the wells now, was thinking of testing them. Would I be okay turning them on as they are? Or is pressing the glow plug switch likely to circulate fuel etc, same way turning a key in an ignition might? Or some other reason I shouldn't do that?

  8. Hi all, I need to remove a leaking injector from a vetus m3.10 and was hoping for some help please. The manual is woeful on injectors, and I'm a bit unsure where to disconnect the fuel line(s). I'm thinking here on the return line as it first runs off from the rail (photograph) is that right? Or is there somewhere else I should be looking? And I'm also going to have to remove the air intake silencer to get in at the rail anything to consider there? Also do I need to maybe drain the fuel out of the system first before I start undoing line fixtures, in case the fuel is pressurised? If so where / how would I do that please? Again the manual is letting me down regarding this, the fuel pump is not the same on engine as it is in the manual! Sorry for all the questions, any help (in laymen terms please) would be greatly appreciated.
