Default ~Wanted - Injector for AHC engine.

CAT light has appeared a few times and displayed multiple misfires when on LPG so currently just running of petrol.
After a fresh MOT today, the misfire is now not on gas but on petrol and injector 2.

anyone got any loafing that I can have/beg/borrow/steal or buy. Failing that, do I buy new at £141 each or have them all cleaned....

Thanks for your help in advance...

If it's electrical fault cleaning will not help. And good luck finding injector, all good engines are sold complete with injectors and there is not much being broken for parts. Couple of years ago I ended up buying one from dealers. You might try ebay.de but when I was looking for it there was only one listing that was selling whole set of 8 with injector rail and pressure regulator and it was EUR399. You might be more lucky than me.

A Bosch specialist for a clean of all 8 is probably not a bad idea - at least it'll tell you if more than 1 is on the way out and whether they can be restored to as new.

I've had it done on a previous car and it made a massive difference

eta - if the forum sponsors don't have any on their own you could try brasiliangringo in case he has some spare?
