yellow parts in ford engine bays
Is it true that everything that has a yellow part in a ford engine bay is a servicable part i.e rad cap oil filler cap etc etc ,and that when ford first started to use yellow injectors on standard cossies the mechanics were taking off the injectors and throwing them away and replacing them at every service ?? Is this why they started to use blue injectors on standard cars??
just something i heard ages ago but allways thought surely no one can be that stupid?

Yes, I heard that too, from Gerard Sauer (spl......he used to write for CCC mag and run his own Cossie tuning company in Brixton called "Greenlight")..........apparently some Ford mechanics WERE that stupid

just finding my feet
the yellow filler cap ect is true !!!!
the injesctors has to be bollox imo as a service list has a list of parts and the recomended time for changing em
all mechanics have books recomending things to be changed at what milage and service and injectors would not be on that list
or the ones that did do it done it for extra cash !!!!!!, no fooker is that stupid, to confirm ask jim galbally !!!!

As DOO says.....
The yellow parts in the engine bay were there to highlight "routine maintainence items".......I.E. things that the owner/driver of the car was supposed to check at least once a week......engine coolant, screenwash, oil, power steering and brake fluid.
