Im hoping all i need is a new sealing washer - or maybe even tighten it up (guess which one one it is

).
Are there any tips i need to know before removing an injector?
Thanks
Ringo

Have you got the proper injector socket? Standard deep socket won`t usually work becuase of the "ears" from the fuel leak-back pipes. Blow out around the injector with an airline before removal.

Check it is not the return pipe leaking, I get this all the time they are only £3ish so I guess the quality is not that good.

I agree. check the leak off hoses and if your going to change them, change the lot at the same time.

Unfortunately thats the first thing i check for - the end caps are constantly going on my van!
I want to get this sorted tomorrow - GSF first and hopefully i'll be able to sort it.
Thanks Guys,
Ringo
