Hi all,
Another fun one. The old girl choked and started misfiring on a pootle to the shop this AM. Engine block was wet and first thought was head gasket / cracked head. Realised no water oil mix on removing the filler cap and realised wetness was actually diesel combined with filth from the side of the block so it looked like oil leak.
Turns out the hose that I've highlighted in the pic had perished and was sitting on but not tight onto the injector head. Removed old cable tie clamping it on (red flag, obvs an old issue). Trimmed it down, was split quite far up. Have reseated and another cable tie to keep in place but obviously now wanting to replace.
So, am I right in thinking what I've highlighted is the hose from the pump to the injector? I could be totally wrong, so any help greatly appreciated. If so, can anyone recommend a replacement? Searches for what I think it is have come up with far wider dia hoses.
