    Where to clean fuel injectors?

    The Saga continues. I get two injectors from Mr injector, although I am not 100% happy with them, there are some little spots of rust on the pintels which suggests to me they have been hanging around for ages and/or the pintels have not been renewed, the seals look used too. They dont come with...

    Where to clean fuel injectors?

    I just ordered 2 injectors from Mr. Injector for £25 each. Injectortune had actually sent me an email saying they dont have replacement injectors in stock but will refund me for servicing of 2 of the injectors so that is very good service from them.

    Where to clean fuel injectors?

    I got my injectors back this morning and the faulty injector had a knackered solenoid so can't be fixed by cleaning, apparently one of the others has a solenoid on the way out too. So I am in the market for 2 (or maybe 4) injectors if anybody has any or knows where to buy some then please let me...

    Where to clean fuel injectors?

    So after being a complete idiot and taking my wiring loom to pieces I eventually found that the real reason my clio is running on 3 cylinders is probably a clogged fuel injector. So the injectors are off the car and I was thinking of using an injector cleaning by post service. Does anybody...

    What paint do you guys paint your plenums with?

    Ah, I now guess the scuttle the plastic bit around the wipers? I'd only take that off if you get stuck. If I had too I would free the scuttle so it can move a bit but not take off the wipers - I don't think removing the wipers is an easy job - I had to resort to using a slide hammer when I did that!

    Do you need an oil filter tool?

    Mr Righty has never let me down :-D I really would replace it every time (should cost ~50p from a local motor spares/factor). I tried to script before and got an annoying drip-drip.

    Do you need an oil filter tool?

    If you can't undo with one hand then use two :) The screwdriver method works but do it towards the end or you risk damaging the spindle it threads onto.

    What paint do you guys paint your plenums with?

    TBH I dont know what the scuttle is? I thought a scuttle was something for storing coal. My runners/plenum unit is plastic, yours looks a lot better, bet it flows better too. The whole plenum should just lift out when you undo the bolts, and unclip any wires etc attached. If you dont have quite...

    I can't see your pic at work, but I have the K4M and the plenum unbolts as you describe. The bolts on the runners etc had star drive heads but I found a 12 tooth metric socket fitted them no problem.

    Who runs decat? What and why?

    Is it totally impossible for a car to pass MOT with a de-cat? I had a 1990 Suzuki Swift GTi which never had a CAT, I tweaking the fueling/timing in with a colourtune and it passed emission test by a large margin (although I think because it was an older car the pass level was not so stringent?)...

    172 Wheel bolts.

    +1 Get them from Ebay, I already had some good locking bolts so I just got 12 new bolts which cost about £1 each. I actually got 17mm head bolts, taped the key for my locking bolts into the 19mm socket of my tyre iron and flip it over to the 17mm socket for the other bolts - much quicker/easier...

    Fookin Microsfot!

    Haven't they just brought out a new need for speed? I got the Need for Speed shift and was suprised at how good the physics was after all the previous rubbish NFS releases. I Poop myself trying to do a clean lap around the Nord.

    Fookin Microsfot!

    If you need just a short HDMI cable then I got a 0.6m one from Argos for something like £4.99 and it works perfectly. You can easily spend a few checking out the demos :D

    200 Side lights out....fuse keeps blowing

    Thats it, one of those arm's is +ve and the other is -ve. If they touch then in effect you are bypassing the LED and shorting your battery to the chassis (through the fuse). So I'd probably make a spacer up using some plastic (in the past I have used bits of biro pens cut to size) or PVC tape...

    New TV - Can this be beaten?

    Sorry if I sounded harsh with what I said - just wanted to share what I thought after a bit of mental arthmatic. I f I just look at a single purchase then the warranty does look attractive prospect at covering risk. However, when I look at the bigger picture and consider all the electronics...
