I'm just looking over Dave M's 350i and we seem to have a dead injector - I'll check it properly in the morning but its not firing on one cylinder - spark plug is dry and clean and the cam is definately pushing the valves up and down - I've run it with the rocker cover off (its drivers side).

Alternatively I'll (Well Dave will hehe) pay the postage biggrin

Are the contact 'fingers' in the connector in good order? They can get damaged and fail to connect to the injector.
Sometimes, clouting the injector body (the black metal bit!) with a screwdriver handle or similar while it's being fired by the ECU will unstick it.
If you get really stuck I have a box of injectors... but I think there may be someone closer wink

I'll have a proper look over the weekend but its clearly been trouble before as the connector has been cut off the loom and individual push on crimp connectors have been fitted. I suspect its knackered.

Found a new injector for £23.64 plus dreaded and shipping - not worth mucking about with second hand at that price IMHO.

Or you could have this one at £202 eek

Had a proper look injector definately dead - I tried 'adjusting' it but it didn't want to play. I've ordered the one above.
