Default Xjs 1986 12 cyl. Fuel injectors rebuild issues

Hi.from iceland.
Í have a big problem with my garage in Iceland.
Í paid them over 3000 pounds 6 months ago because my car needed new neals in the injectors
. New batterie and minor issues.
They gave me the car back with no gasoline and í was able to drive it 100 meters until it choked...
Managed to drive it back to the garage and after inspection they said the fuel injectors needed to be sent back to UK and rebuild ( 2 months ago)
No news yet..
They say there is only one specialist that can do this.
They dont want to tell me who this is.
But tell me he is very busy..Í need help)))
.

I've have great service from David Faircloth here:

https://www.jaguarfuelinjectorservice.com/

He has overhauled several sets of injectors for me, and not just Jaguar

However, I can't think of anything Jaguar-specific about the injectors. I'm sure any fuel injector service can service them. Perhaps one close to home for you.

Cheers
DD

Your mechanic in Iceland is a piece of ****. Collect your car, parts, etc immediately and find someone else.

Hi Parketog

You could have bought 12 Brand New Injectors for a fraction of the price you paid and as for the Seals they cost nothing

(nothing being about one pound each or even less)
