Hi all,

Just a quick thing, where is the best place or solution to get these all changed ...for a m40 engine,,, i know i have a slight fuel leak but rather get the whole lot done...how much am i looking at?

also want to send injectors for a refurb through injectortune...is it easy to do? ive changed a fuel pump before ..how does it compare difficulty wise?

Only source for fuel hoses is BMW; cheap motor factor stuff doesn't last.

Air hoses are also specific to each car, so they're BMW-only too.

Removing the injectors is not as difficult as removing a fuel pump.

Can't help on cost, I don't live anywhere near a place that uses pounds.

Fuel hose ( for an M20 anyway ) is 8mm internal diameter

Halfords sell goodyear stuff which should be OK - as long as it says "unleaded OK" or similar on it it will be fine

TBH I used motor factor stuff on mine - its 3 years old and counting and seems OK but then it hasnt done much mileage

Sending injectors to injectortune is definately money well spent :thumb:
