    Red face injector loom

    I seem to be good at clocking up firsts.
    Last friday I had to take a rather rough detor due to road washout.
    I noticed a slight miss on way home so lifted lid and had a poke around.
    Injector loom just fell apart in my hand(connection to main loom just under head).Had to fit back on and TIE with wire....
    Ordered a new one and was told it was a first!.
    And what a mongrel it is getting the tappet cover back on with the new seal.
    Anyway all good again.
    Anyone else had this problem?

    Not physically break no, but a lot of people have to change them due to oil ingress.

    Have not seen them fall apart. But if someone had had oil in the loom and used a contact cleaner that is plastic destructive it can and will cause this to happen. Usually something would have to break it down for this to happen.
    I used a certain type once on plastic and it does destroy it, but you can get non plastic destructive contact cleaner easily.
