Yesterday, I drove down to LR dealer and asked how much to repair a injector, it was estimated at £1000 + vat
I also went to an indi and they estimated £675 + Vat

Today i found a guy who works on diesel injections who owns a local garage to me, I explained previous prices to him.

I left the RRS with him and got a call midday to say unfortunately two injectors were leaking not one , he asked me to come in, so he could show me, and as clear as day, it was very obvious two had been leaking, it does seem to make a mess there was a carbon like build up all around both injectors and plastic cover.
I told him to just get it done, and at 2pm it was all done.
He removed both of them cleaned them and replaced seals, saved me a fortune on having them replaced at circa £500 per injector plus labour.
the total bill was £200.00

If anyone has injector issues, i would be happy to give you his details to help, he works on both 2.7 and 3.6

What are the symptoms of injector failure? 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

For me, i had the vehical thoroughly checked over when i had my first service, and the chap said it needs addressing, but i could smell deisel when standing outside the motor.
The tick over was a little lumpy on idle, and it wasnt very responsive at a roundabout.

It has made a significant difference getting it done.

well, you explained it yourself.

you had a specialist looked at it!

It sure pays to shop around. Top tip there Paul.

The 'official' injector removal procedure involves a fair bit of dismantling to get at the injectors, including (if it is the LH bank) first withdrawing all the air conditioning refrigerant and disconnecting the A/C lines.

Did your man do that or does he have a way round it I wonder?

Once access has been gained to the injectors it looks like a simple remove and replace of the injector seal and clamp but you need a special tool to pull out the injectors;

I know he didnt move AC pipes, it was drivers side 2 & 3
i was told it's a pig to do by a LR mechanic, but with this fella nothing was a problem, no sucking through teeth, just a genuine chap.

Paul is there any chance you could ping me over this chaps details?

Hi,

Is there a book time for single injector removal?

scud

I'd like his details Paul

Nice to have a few honest contacts. I'm not Fat. RRS TDV6 HST.

My Merc e320 suffered from the same thing, the indie removed them, cleaned all the carbon off, which was the most time consuming part, Helicoiled the head and re-fitted them with new seals, i think it was around £170 for each one, but that was over 5 years ago 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))
