Default FAO Cornelius, or anyone else that knows

How hard is it to change injectors on my car, i have a brand new set of pink (with new seals) to go in.

Just wondered if this is a Sunday afternoons work, or should i leave well alone?

Not sure on the fitting time mate,

But I suspect some mapping may be required once fitted... as you'll be running a little RICH..

Pauls @ ESB if you need o talk to him, or he was there this morning.

Mapping will be done as soon as the gearbox is fitted, just trying to save some money by fitting some bits while its sitting there.

Mark's right, I'm at ESB at the mo - keeping busy

Injectors are pretty easy to fit, but are a bit of a struggle to get out, however I've made a tool to take them out

I watched Xtreme do my injectors and you'll spend more time taking bits off the car to get to the injectors than actually changing them
