Owch! At least you can run it until you get the misfire which should reduce the test costs.

You read my mind!

I have 7 months left too... wonder what else I can squeeze out of it...

Expensive to buy at first mate but when you have it and you need it it's great
I extended the warranty on my last x and that payed for those injectors etc the bill was over 2k and my warranty cost £680 at the time when i extended it for the first year.

Yeah, mine was an Expensive £1,650! Has paid off so far though so am happy... it was almost like I wanted something to go wrong with my car just to take it in and walk away without a bill...

Just had about £2k work done on the Suspension Air-Bags courtesy of BMW Warranty - "Cheers lads, wheres my keys"

Leakback test performed today, injectors 1 and 3 heavily passing back!!! So it's the two, have done some phoning around via google and found an extremely knowledgable chap who basically advised the garage to perform the leak back test due to viscosity of the diesel being less when warm etc causing my low fuel pressure, and explained everything to me, answered all my questions very in depth, and explained what he could do for me. So here goes, I'm posting both injectors off, they well test, completely strip and replace with brand new intervals, seals, nose tips etc for £115 each!! so quite happy to pay this. Still gutted though as it's always something!! love the cars to bits (literally) but cheeses me off a little when important parts like this go!! But on the way to recovery. So the x is in the garage in bits, I know the guy working on the car quite well so watched him removing the inlet manifold etc, looked very fiddly!! and mitch, that code reader was tip top!! They put their all singing all dancing code reader on and it came up with the exact two fault codes that your little toy did!! And wembley services even said oooh don't trust those cheap nasty code readers as they can send you off on a wild goose chase!!!

Forgot to say, the injectors come with a 12 month warranty. So this brings price down a hefty bit.

When it is fixed and if you are happy (and too the chap doing the reconditioning) it might be good to have his contact details posted for the benefit of others. Maybe check with AW8 and pvr before you do though just to be sure that it is ok to post contact details... maybe just a link would be ok?

Glad to hear it is getting sorted at hopefully quite a saving.

Glad the code reader worked well Jon for anyone interested it was the peake R5/FCX3-16
Details here.... http://www.talktomycar.co.uk/products/bmw/mj111.htm

Also agree with Turks if the job goes well post up some info and links

I might buy one next year rather than the warranty

I might borrow one next year rather than the warranty!

Just spent all morning phoning around getting prices, have found a company who again very knowledgable and offer 12 month warranty etc, who have plenty of refurbished injectors on the shelf. Gave him my serial number off the injectors, he had them ready to go on the shelf. And basically he has posted them out this morning and once I receive them, I am to put my old injectors in the box and post them back with a like for like service. Best part is, they only cost £75 per injector on the like for like. This aves a lot of money for me so very grateful to the Internet allowing me to find these guys!! Again, all internals, seals, new nossles etc inserted and ultrasonically cleaned. With 12 month warranty to boot. company is dieseljones, just type that into google

The total cost = £320 so has stung a little but was done as cheaply as possible. car running very sweet and starts instantly from hot or cold so all sorted. i highly recommend diesel jones specialists online!! ace service!! and very highly recommend my friends garage in pembs, which is just motors!!! very good service, very reasonable and very quick!!! mitch....give them a try!! and for a 4 wheel laser allignment very cheap, haven tyres in milford, £19.99!! had it done after all bushes changed!! very reasonable!!

Hi BL02WAS,

Glad your car got sorted, thought the injectors were the prob, did 3 on mine last year..

Fortunately I have my own garage in Cardiff so save on the labour!
