Thanks, Gernot,
The injectors were replaced at 37,000 miles and the car has now done 45,000.
I've had the units out and there is some dribbling but this appears to be at
the tips; the inner sections seem tight in their tubes.
Someone on the list-I forget who-was going to describe how to strip the
injectors but the description never came through.
The bottom line is that I haven't the equipment to check the metering and I
haven't the cash to rebuild the entire system at the moment. On the other
hand, I do have a set of SUs in good condition and I know how to tune
them:-)
The car is doing 23 mpg as an absolute best at the moment. Given that I
drive the car very sedately, something is clearly amiss.
Thanks for the message,
