Could also try British Motor Imports - Mulgrave NSW

just an update :- got genuine o rings and washers from mario. removed injectors while waiting for delivery. then had to wait until sunday to fit new seals etc. delayed because of strong winds on the farm . my workshop is open ground next to my caravan :-)) fitted sunday . no dramas !!! primed fuel system by pumping pedal to get engine light on etc. pump sounded noisy . no matter what i did , the pump would not prime system . engine tried to run , but no go.

please insert copious amounts of swear words !!!!

walked away from it !! fresh start today . car was running fine prior to injector removal , so removed fuel supply line from FPR and turned on ignition.. loads of bubbles etc.
it took 2 full cycles of fuel pump to get rid of air. reconnected fuel line . primed system 3 times with then tried starting again. bingo !! initialy running rough , but settled quickly. took it for a run around the farm until up to temp. all ok. injectors all reading between 1 and -1 . parked it up . will check tomorrow for any problems starting after sitting overnight.

only reason i can think of is when i disconnected the fuel line to drain fuel from the head etc it back siphoned , and sucked air back to the pump. so , non return valve on fuel filter is either faulty or missing . pete :-)

I always do the priming sequence 4 times after pulling a td5 injector... that or bridge the fuel pump relay out and stick a good charger on the battery.

A quick and dirty test for fuel prior to an oil test is to drop a drop of oil onto a business card, if it has fuel it will spread a little further than straight oil and have a distinct 'halo' as the lighter fractions spread further.

I'll try and dig up a pic.
