325i m20 injectoir caps- where from?

i just changed the seals on the injectors on my 325, however theres an orange cap with a hole on the nozzle end that goes into the inlet manifold. When removing these, they just crumbled litereally. I cant find anywhere that sells them! ive tried dealers and specialists but no luck....

Re: Low fuel light

the light isnt linked to the needle, the petrol gauge on mine, the needle shows half a tank when the light comes on, but i know it is near empty at this stage and not half as it shows!

Re: jump start from fork lift truck !!!

heard of a similar prob with a 325i, it turned out the loom from the c101 socket had fried wires.. and i think one of these wires ran in to the boot located battery.... even after the loom was repaired, if the car was jump started from under the bonnet, the wires would fry again so once sorted again...

Re: Passenger headlight not working!

had the same prob with my car, turned out to be a split wire which i sorted, then started being intermittent which was a dodgy earth wire..
if you can, chek theres a supply coming to the bulb when you turn the headlights on.. if there isnt then its prob a split wire.
