One other tip don't clean your manifold in the dishwasher like one member did

Don't be silly, I will use the bath

Years ago when we used to play with turbo'd hot hatches my mate kept his parents old dishwasher, run it off a hose and extension lead and it made a great parts washer ! Although his old man went mental when he saw that the waste was just going into the soak away Killed of the lawn at the back of the garden

I've already stripped it down Blue just not refitted it as I ran out of time My inlet manifold was only slightly gooed up but odd as it was dry so only needed a little scrape then the rest shook out like powder

wierd at least 3 to5 ports should be gunky ,but it does make cleaning it easier and less messy

Hi blue e.

HI First reply on here. I had problems with a fuel leak around the injectors and found it to be the little 'o' rings on the bleed off rails. Easy job- they just unclip from the top of the injectors. The only problem is you cant buy the seals on their own you have to buy a new rail from the 'mainstealers'. £71!!! no tools required and you can fit in 10 mins if you have the airbox off. Keep the old rail tho in case you do another and you have a spare seal or two! hope it helps.

I bought 4 green 'o' rings from Ford for a couple of pounds the other week.
Part number 1795871

£2.40 with tax for 4 for me
