All injectors came out with only the slightest "tap" to loosen em
Well had all 6 injectors tested and 1 was "leaking back" as though it was an open tap and another one was leaking back slightly but enough to warrant overhauling
Inj 5 tested OK and when I checked the dribble rail seal it was clear the seal was "flattened" in one area enough to cause the dampness seen on a previous pic
I collect the 2 overhauled injectors in morning but have fitted the 4 serviceable ones
Water pump and stat fitted and 2 x new belts (number shown so if you need a belt these will be the part numbers you will need
The intercooler is fitted in the plastic housing and thats pretty much all I can now do until tomorrow
I could have rebuilt the front end but whilst I have all the front off I can get to the engine area real easy so couldnt be RS'ed to refit it yet

Woohoo....after looking at the pics, I was wondering if it would all go back together fine
Goes really well - smooth strong power and all good under the hood
Tomorrow I have a 280mile round trip
lol That should sort any problems out

Not done enough mileage tonight to be able to state for sure
BUT
the amount of power and drivability I lost meant I had to notice something lol
All I will say as of yet it is certainly smoother and the power just keeps coming and with the "sorted" gearbox the car is an absolute pleasure to drive

Covered 260 mile today not a single issue
Trailer with car on the back - power all the way - no smoke
I always reset fuel consumption No 2 with every full tank and it returned 23mpg (enthusiastic driving style)

Thanks am just happy that it all went back together OK
The MPG is a good indicator but needs to be over a decent period of time/mileage but to be fair it seems to be quite accurate
Consumption 1 was reset the moment I collected the car and is at 22mpg after 7000 miles
