Diesel Injectors

Post by **BigTam** » 13 Jan 2008, 11:46

I am going to change the injectors and glow plugs in my van, only problem is I do not have a long enough socket to remove and refit the injectors. Does anyone have one and if so what length is it and where did you get it, cheers ?,

I`ve got one, it is a special type with a rebate inside it to clear the little fuel return pipe "ears" so you don`t break `em off.

Seen a few on Ebay, Sykes Pickavant do `em, mine is a spurious named one (not got it here so can`t tell you) but they are available for under a tenner.

I could post this one to you to borrow, but the cost there and back would be what they cost to buy

Either Draper do one from you local motor factors or Halfords might - can't remember which one I have, under a tenner as said before. 27mm I think

Cheers for the offer Westy but you are right would cost the same to post, Louey spot on they are 27mm, Halfords do one but it is not deep enough, will try local tool shops and motor factors tomorrow,
