hi all.had to take n01 injector out as copper sealing washer was worn out.due to running with injector loose, and blow by burning copper washer away.
not a problem except couldnt get one for 3 days.from main dealer . priced at £1.85 each .
asked at local garage nice man came back with a big box of copper washers .i found a couple straight away.
18mm x3mm + 12mm centre.
worst job was cleaning threads out because a lot of carbon in them .
and getting old washer out. made a hooked end on an old screw driver.
with aid of a blow lamp.
great help cleaning threads out .used copper grease on a piece of rag to remove carbon out of hole once it had been scraped out of threads .
all bolted up and fine now.
