Don't you just love it when you drop sh*t in your intercooler piping and have to get under the car to remove the pipes to get it out?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a noisy injector that's getting even worse. Can I unplug them one by one while the car is running to figure out which one (or ones) are making all the racket?They're kpm 1000cc, bout 16 months old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any one got any idea on my mysterious ticking noise? Been able to hear it idle outside the car for ages but only recently have I been able to hear it while driving when putting the foot down.

I don't really know enough about injectors to tell you what it is. Maybe someone else has seen this happen before and I spose there would be some info on the web about the various noises or failings that injectors have.

It's always the most hard to get at one also, under the water banjo on the block side. They have all been heli-coiled due to slight cracking but still need constant tightening. Bring on the high mount I say! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bend the tab up when the bolt is tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got another new fuel filter so I'll fit it today. I've also got a clunk in the front end so I'd better chase it down. If I'm feeling extra keen I'll give it a wash and wax. Having a black car in a dusty area sucks dogs balls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
