My father's Jaguar has an engine from a 1987 3.6L XJ6 that has three
of the injectors a different type than the three others, so none of
them work particularly well. So, he's looking for a cheap source of
injectors. But, despite that new replacements are expensive, breakers'
yards and suchlike that he's talked to so far don't seem to be willing
to sell injectors. Does anyone know of a good source of used/salvaged
injectors?

Isn't there an old saying about Jaguars?

If you can afford to run an old one, you can afford to buy one new.

Ouch! Don't say that... :-(

Hello,

Is the part number on your injectors 0280150151 or 0280150152? Are they
barbed with a short hose to the fuel rail?

About $270 for all 6. That would be 149.933 GBP plus shipping.

Cheers,

That would be 357.352 AUD.

Just how do you know this?

The originals can be serviced so they work like new. Ask at a fuel
injection specialist.

Do a Google search for "fuel injector service" to find a UK vendor.

It'd also be about 2,500 Moroccan Dirhams. Which are about as relevant to
the OP as Aussie Pesos are - since he's in the UK, judging by his email
address and the fact he's posted to a uk group...

Then I have it covered then dont I?

BTW - to be precise that would be 2,414.42 MAD. Sheesh

Don't worry, Blake.
