Hi, it appears that I have destroyed no1 injector in my defender. I have fitted a new injector loom to no avail! so it seems that I need to replace it.Does any one have suggestions as to where I can obtain one(new) for a good price? I have been quoted $800.00 locally (Australia). I have seen them for 200 pound from united diesel (UK) any opinions. Thanks Steve P.

John Craddock Ltd - Specialists in Land Rover Parts and Spares

They sell them, look under TD5 engine parts...

They would probably ship to Aus.

Are you sure the INJECTOR is goosed?

Because it is Number 1 cylinder, it may be the failure of the copper washer under the injector letting gas up that stops that one injector from working.

If it was washer failure further back (2 3 4 or 5) then more injectors would get gassed and stopped.

A washer costs pennies, and isn't that hard to fit.

Get the injector out and examine the bottom end. It will be reasonably clear if it has been gas-leaking.

PM me if you want a description of how to fix this WITHOUT undoing the injector rocker adjusters or any grief.

Injector seal failures will not be diagnosed by any computer.

He says he's had it checked and the computer has spotted it's not firing, is this a familiar scenario to the seal thing you are speaking of?
