Thread: Diesel injectors

300Tdi injectors can be serviced even though the body is crimped together but no one does them as it's more expensive than buying new.

May I suggest if you really do want new ones to source them from the UK direct. Try Paddocks, Frog island, etc.
Much cheaper than buying here.

Thank you Rick for that

My brother sourced his injectors from Paddock Spares - Land Rover, Range Rover Parts & Accessories - Discovery, Defender and Freelander - was around $420 delivered to Vic.

With respect..what makes you think they need replacing?....I have mine in my 300tdi since at least 250k and they're still going strong with no hunting or missing...what I do though is put a litre of petrol in my diesel tank every once in a while to keep them clean...by coincidence I have just had the head off and the injectors were still in good condition...so I kept them in...

Just sayin' like...

Maybe you could try and good clean first before parting with any creds?

Try a couple of litres of petrol in a full tank and see if that pays dividends??

Good luck

THanks Ohlins, Petrol aye, like instead of a diesel injector adative?
The previous owner 216,000k (original owner) said to me when asked "what would you do to the disco if you were keeping it" and his reply was "I would have the injectors serviced. Now I can only assume he said that because he has done it befor and noted they need it again.
Having said that I drove it from the Gold coast to Bowen NQ 1300k and there was no surging, or flat spots, starts perfectly but does show its fair share of smoke on start up and got 919k to a 75L refill.

Fair bit of smoke on start up is a 300Tdi trait live with it
