the car was not running un less towed,

ive been under the bonnet all afternoon and removed all injectors and checked and double checked and writen down the codes on them and checked the codes against the sticker on rocker cover- they all match as i expected as they were my injectors that were sent off to be reconditioned,

Any way i made a filter out of new a4 white paper and emptied the fuel filter contents in to it and there was nothing no filings that i could make out at all, i re primed the filter, ( its only 700 miles old and refitted) making sure at all times to clean every thing with clean kitchen towels,

I refitted all injectors taking care to stay clean at all times and realised that the return to the fuel filter of each injector has a clip thats a little pig to get snapped shut fully and secure, even though i though id just clipped all on secure when doing a recheck before finishing up for the evening i realised that one was not quite Snapped shut, good job i rechecked as im sure a air leak here would leak are in to the filter and cause a non running engine which had happened,

i then bled of each injector and the cold engine of the car started on the button, thrus ruling out the glow plugs, i think i had a air leak on the return clips i have thoroughly checked all seals now car is running in limp home mode with what i believe to be a good fuel pump, i now have all injector codes written down so its of to ash automotive new ash green later this week to check the programming, im just wondering will it start in the morning once its had time to leak a bit of air in to the system or have a cured that part of the fault,

so the reasult of this afternoons work is im feeling positive its now some thing minor like a injector has forgot its coding or some thing, fingers crossed ill keep the thread posted
