Hello all, about to take my injectors out on my 320 for a clean as i run it out of fuel accidently as its not on the road and needed to be moved, its now only running on 5 and cylinder 6 seems to be the problem, i have run through everything from plugs to compression( all 10.4psi) also all injectors are clicking and at same pace. and having read through 'cleaning your injectors' on e30 wiki I thought I would run through it all before I start, my problem is I can't see the 4x10mm bolts that hold the fuel rail in place, can anyone tell me where abouts to look (from drivers side/ passengers side/ top etc) many thanks in advance.. Dan.
Also is it right that I don't take the manifold off?

The 4 bolts attach the rail to the inlet manifold. If you look from the driver's side of the car you will see them and you can see the 4 lugs on this picture. The manifold doesn't need to come off.
