Whoops I've left two injectors in the manifold

[Rob669]

I pulled a pretty stubborn fuel rail off today (it's been on for 12 years) and basically some bits broke off. It was the metal circlips that broke, but two injectors came out and two decided to stay inside the manifold. If I take off the manifold will I be able to push them out and will the metal circlip bits matter as the fuel rail is scewed down anyway?

I'd try and get the clips, they are there for a reason, soak the stubborn injectors with wd40 they will come out, quicker than taking the lower inlet off.

They look to be specially made for the fuel rail so I might have to get a second hand ruel rail then. The engine is coming out so it won't be any bother removing the lost injectors in the mainfold in a day or two's time.

A ha, now found out you can buy them from Renault. Cost about £2.50 each.
