Help with Puma injector fault
Hello first post on here although iv been lurking in the background for a while! I am looking for some advice on 2.4tdci injectors. My local Land Rover garage have said I have an injector stuck open causing white smoke from the exhaust. They are unsure which one it is but it is £450 per injector! Could I get 1 injector off ebay (£70) and just keep swapping them round until I get the faulty one? is there a way to code the injectors without an expensive diagnostics tool? Or would you recommend getting them sent away for refurbishment?
Thanks in advance

Firstly can you get an injector for £70?

Good with resolving - I presume you've had a go with the various injector cleaner additives on the market?

As said above, send/take them away for testing.

If you have a local Diesel specialist near you, they will undertake the work.
If not have a look online for company's offering this service.

I use PowerDrive in Portsmouth quite a bit, they are not local to me but have a good turnaround time. 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

£450 each X four. Shocked

I use Millers diesel additive which should keep things clean, might this be of some help?
