Does anyone have any odd injectors lying around?
Im going to send my 6 off for testing and im expecting at least a couple will fail. Would be good if I could get a few extras so I could send of 9 and then hopefully I will get 6 of the 9 that pass. So Im looking for any number of them from individuals to a set of 6.
Thanks!

I would only send 6 to start off with. If you send 9 you can be sure that 3 will "fail"!

For the price of one new injector you can buy something like this.

I've used something similar to service/clean/test injectors. Our injectors should crack off at 212psi. Spray patten is also important. Ive had quite a lot of success using injector cleaner from Halfords and purging the injector with it using the hand pump. Leaving it a day or two and then cleaning them by flushing through with the injector cleaner.
I did have a new injector fail on me, (after a prolonged outage) and the engine dropped onto 5 cylinders. I removed the injector and it had stuck open. Tried flushing with no success. In the end I gave it a sharp tap with a hammer and it started working. Flushed it through with cleaner and its been fine since.
