Doing an oil change, emptied the oil, trying to get the oil filter off and ive caught this wire which I know is connected to the fuel rail, and a tiny bit of fuel sprayed out.

Has this unplugged or snapped?

Thanks.

The magneti marelli injectors are OEM.

You'll need to take the fuel rail off.

Remove the feed line on the left of the rail, squeeze and pull (some fuel will come out, so have a rag to catch it)

2 x 10mm bolts to get the rail off and then pull/wiggle the rail to get it out.

Pop the metal clip off the injector and pull out. Usually helps with a little twist.

When I changed my oil last I had to resort to ramming a screwdriver through the filter as the strap undoer wouldn't work.
Sad news on the injector. Wonder if anyone local to you off here has any? Whack a wanted post up asap.
Oh and whenever I work on the car something invariably goes wrong and brakes, usually something unconnected to what I'm doing!! Your not alone.

Thanks for the tips mate.

Trying to find a picture guide to hopefully stop me breaking something else.

No don't drive on 3 cylinders! Have you got a long screwdriver? They're not that strong from the side, just make sure you dont destroy it completely so it wont turn. Hit it all the way through. Or use some nice large water pump pliers on it.
