I am thinking of getting these done
Anyone got any recommendations of who can do this in Londin area ?
Prices

Also anyone that had this done would be interested to hear your thoughts before / after getting them cleaned

Look for "Injectortune". Highly recommended, zone discount app. £10 per injector. Just post them off and within a week they'll be returned fully refurbished with a before and after flowchart.

As Brianmoore says the best money you will ever spend on your E30!

Verdict.... Better mpg, smoother running.

You wont get any more power as such, but you should regain the power that was lost due to shitty injectors......

Yes that's what I mean

I think inspection 2, then cleaning injectors and KDS 4 wheel alignment are amongst best things you can do for E30

A differ once told me the best way to clean your injectors is to put 20 litres of thinners in the tank, then drive at 5,000 rpm for 20 minutes while doing figure of 8 burnouts. Im surprised you dont already know this pony?

To make this work properly,I understand that the 'driver' needs to be smoking a Cuban cigar,one that has been rolled between the thighs of a virgin.

What about "injector cleaner" that you put in the tank - is that any good ?

Why ?

Because the sort of stuff that gets stuck to an injector will not be shifted by a quick blast of solvents added to the petrol tank. It's like trying to use a bottle of Fairy to clean up an oil spill in the ocean.

I just put a bottle in mine at the w/e ! after everything else I had done, (major service)not that it really needed it, my choice - peace of mind kinda thing, and thought I'd give the injectors a clean, but as I said, there doesn't seem to be any problems, just thought as almost everything else had been done might as well give them a clean too - no harm done !
