Hi all, just had the the codes read on the money pit :doh: td5, auto, reg 51, 121000 miles and it said that injector number 5 had gone down and that I need a new one - injector loom, injector, labour £480 inc vat, about right or to much?

please if you would as I live in milton cambs - £450 inc vat was from wicken 4x4 - do I need someone else to fit it as I`ve been told that they have to coded to each piston? BJ
that sounds to me like turbo over boost look at this link (thanks to urban panzer) www.discovery2.co.uk / Waste Gate Modulator - Over boostingAs I understand, the symptoms for “misfiring” are, when in top gear (automatic) and try to accelerate the disco judders, its noisy and also uses more fuel. When stationary, I lift the bonnet up and the engine is rocking.
I went over to Wicken 4x4, when it was "misfiring" and they put a diagnostic tester on it and it showed all the pistons working but number 5 was to high!! They said it was the injector, so I paid him the £48 and came home.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks Del going to do a search now and then look - may end up tho paying for your diesel and suppling you with bacon rolls and coffee while you watch me fix it!!!!!!!

Just to update on this.
I/we checked the red plug, and it was BONE dry, before I/we did anything else.
Started the car and it was running sweet, with NO faults logged. Went for a run with the HawkEye connected, and all the live data was as it should be.
Injector " balance " was between +/-5 on all five cylinders.
My 2 thoughts are this,
1, has/can an injector fail and then " come back " ?,
2, Is it possible that I/we have inadvertently corrected a poor connection at the ecu by unplugging it and plugging it back in ?.
Del.
if it is an early injector loom then the oil can work its way down threw the plug its self its not just the o rings but if its a later modified loom then you can get away with changing the o rings mine startd to leak and in the service history the loom was change a year before i got it so i just put some gasket sealer on the o rings and refited over a year ago now and still no problems
