My father's Jaguar has an engine from a 1987 3.6L XJ6 that has three
of the injectors a different type than the three others, so none of
them work particularly well. So, he's looking for a cheap source of
injectors. But, despite that new replacements are expensive, breakers'
yards and suchlike that he's talked to so far don't seem to be willing
to sell injectors. Does anyone know of a good source of used/salvaged
injectors?

Isn't there an old saying about Jaguars?

If you can afford to run an old one, you can afford to buy one new.

Ouch!  Don't say that... :-(

Hello,

Is the part number on your injectors 0280150151 or 0280150152? Are they
 barbed with a short hose to the fuel rail?

About  $270 for all 6.  That would be 149.933 GBP plus shipping.

Cheers,
DieInterim

That would be 357.352 AUD.

The originals can be serviced so they work like new. Ask at a fuel
injection specialist.

Do a Google search for "fuel injector service" to find a UK vendor.

It'd also be about 2,500 Moroccan Dirhams. Which are about as relevant to 
the OP as Aussie Pesos are - since he's in the UK, judging by his email 
address and the fact he's posted to a uk group...

Then I have it covered then dont I?

BTW - to be precise that would be 2,414.42 MAD. Sheesh

Don't worry, Blake.
Very soon the POMs will be using Euros :-)
Pounds shillings and pence will be history, like most of the place.!

Umm, shillings and "old" pence have been history since 1971.

How much of the place is STILL owned by the British?
Is it still "spot the white man" ?  :-)

And why is it a UK group just because its been cross posted to one.

<rolls eyes>
<slowly, for the benefit of the 'merkin>

Think about it, if you can.

Would an Aussie have posted to a UK group and not an Aussie one?

The OP has a Jag question, hence the posting to a Jag group.
The OP has a .uk email address and posted to a uk. group - so we'll assume 
he's in Australia?

Some one started the cross post and the others just replied without 
checking to see where it was going.

Golly Ron,

I dont understand some of these replies. My first response was in GBP,
my second was in AUD. Just because I wanted my Aussie brothers to have
a quote this "Adrian" had to wear his smart ass on his shoulder for all
to see.

Now you, Ron, you are labeled some racist. ;-) I am a racist too; I
have a white wife and kids...

Yes I know, Blake :-)

Must be my white ass and family that pisses them off :-)
Touchy mob those POMS, but then all those people crowed into a country the 
size of Australia's second smallest state, would make me stir crazy too :-)
60 million in the same land mass, as we have 5 million???

Come on David and McGrice!  This petty squabbling is below each of you probably
otherwise quite intelligent fellows.  I'm a naturalised Aussie who is also
still a Pom, and can see points to both arguments.  But the main argument
should be - *it doesn't matter*.  If you've spent 3 weeks in a coma (with
relatives quaking evry tiume they go near the hospital "interviedw room" and 4
more weeks in hospital, as I have, you surely get things in proportion!  I've
watched this thread with mounting depression (*there's* an expression!) Don't
let this group degenerate into the mindless rubbish that pollutes many other
groups.  Let's return to using this group to exchange technical knowledge about
Jags.  Agree to differ and move on, or better still make up!  Please!

These guys do ultrasonic cleaning of fuel injectors from 25 per injector.
