Could always whip them out and let the tips soak in acetone overnight and see if it helps

Re: Pauls HDI Xantia Exclusive. has PASSED her MOT!
Well, I did NOT get a Job I was hoping for...
So, as things are VERY Tight, looks like my cheapest way to currently stay on the road is to stick another 6 months on this HDi and continue driving like an old fart!!
Now at 271k I wonder if we can hit the 300 in the next 6 months! Or I burn it because of the cutting out.
Im hedging closer to dooing a complete engine harness swap and possibly complete fuel filter housing swap too..
I THINK but im not positive the cutting out when its gonna happen is when the injector rattle switchs off, useually 3k upwards but Im not certain.

Re: Pauls HDI Xantia Exclusive. has PASSED her MOT!
Cheers Taff,
Had it all planned, waiting for the phone car, Weld the rear inner Cills on my Black L reg TD Xantia, MOT, Tax and retire the Exclusive.
But Alas, cant afford the MOT, cant afford the insurance swap on top of taxing. So Ill have to plod on...

Xantias are a mysteriously high group. My 260BHP Impreza was cheaper than my HDi to insure.

Re: Pauls HDI Xantia Exclusive. has PASSED her MOT!
Ah thanks for offer taffy but I'd NEVER will drive with a dodgy mot how little it may be.
It has to be safe and I do always want an external examination even if it is nerve racking..

Paul,
I'm so sorry about the job, I know how much of a disappointment it really is for you, Wish there was something I could do to help.....
Still that Xantia of yours just keeps plodding on.....

Re: Pauls HDI Xantia Exclusive. has PASSED her MOT!
have u tried it without the tunning box paul?
and yeah i know wat u mean..my mate overlooked no handbrake and no horn for me but he knows me and knows il fix it...hes the sort of mate u need lol but if there was something serious he wouldnt pass it..its only cause he knows me well
wasnt it wen u gave it the beans it s**t itself?
makes me think of a wire that open cicuits wen the engine tilts under throttle?
really was gutted to see mine go but i feel a little better knowing theres less electricals on this car
