I've recently bought a Focus Mk2 1.6 Ghia tdci (110)

It has a couple of issues the first one is slightly vocal rear wheel bearings,
I would imagine with the correct puller it wouldn't be too difficult a job
any recommendations for the puller, or is there anyone local to me (manchester)
that could loan me one.

The second issue is you get a mist of fuel past the the No4 fuel injector (looking from the front)
which causes a build up of congealed fuel on the cylinder head which in turn causes
the car to stink of diesel especially in traffic. Now i'm hoping that it's just a question
of disconnecting the electrical connector, then the fuel delivery pipes and then the two
allen bolts that secure the injector into the cylinder head, then withdrawing said injector
and then replacing the seals, and then reversing said procedure to reassemble.

I'm just hoping can supply the seals seperately and not as part of a complete injector
at whatever silly price Ford see fit.

Can anyone give me any pointers please.

Regards Rob..

Can't. comment on the injectors, but wrt the bearing noise, are you sure that it is the wheel bearings and not just tyre noise? I had a Mk1 Focus TDCi (115) and when the tyres started to wear (Pirelli P6000) the noise sounded like the bearings were on the way out.
