My car has a very slight misfire on startup and at 1500 revs when warm, the glow plugs have been tested and are ok, so I thought id check the injectors. Looking on Ebay, a leak off kit was about £20, but Id read posts where people just said remove the leak off pipes and see which injector leaked the worst. So Ive come up with a slightly cheaper / better idea to
see if I had a leaky injector....................bottle tops! :D 8-10mm hole drilled into the top of a plastic bottle top, bung them on upside down to catch the diesel and and start the car for 10 seconds and see if they fill :D
