Cheers, Disco1BFG. That is reassuring information. My first thoughts were to do the same and go LR Centre as they have confirmed OEM parts and set up. And, while I want to do a decent job while I'm on, I might as well save money where I can without major quality sacrifice.Well, you know what I did ! - and my reasoning was:-
A new nozzle from a reputable supplier is a new nozzle - same applies to the setup. I'd certainly trust Diesel Bob, and to the extent necessary, I trust LR Center not to sell me a POS. I have never heard of a catastrophic failure of a conventional injector nozzle, (I.E. NOT common rail ) - so I don't believe any proprietary brand is better than any other. Any such failure would be all over the web rather quickly, and the supplier could be held to account quite well, I think.
I did do a search on this and all the documents I saw relate to common rail injector failures - I have attached a report. The conclusion is essentially that poor fuel quality at extreme pressures ( in common rail Injectors ) can cause cavitation, erosion and fatigue cracking.
Since I don't have anything common rail, then I'm not worried.
I've just stopped for lunch.
I'd just started taking the pistons out. The rings on No1 were in half That would probably explain the extra wear on that cylinder. Don't know how that would happen. I'll post pictures later.
