bit of wire with a hook on the end and go fishing ?

 

[David2.2coupe]

looks that way,as Vauxhall don't stock them

 

[David2.2coupe]

the valve under that injector was open so its drop through

[evocarlos]

get it out thru the plug hole at least with a torch you will see it

[evocarlos]

[David2.2coupe]

no such luck all I can see is the top of the piston

big thanks to @pottsey for bringing round a couple of spare injector seals last night

hehe let the engine s**t it out

I seen people drop the bolts off the fuel rail into the cylinder and not notice until it turned over, nice metal sound on 3 cylinders

my m8 started engine up and it sounded like something was loose then i notice it started running on 3 after a nasty clanging sound, I dropped the plug out to notice it was smashed up and could see bits of the piston crown attached it to

not a good noise had it on an old motor bike when i was 13 took the head wiped the bits out then bolted the head back down it ran for quite a while before the valves meet the piston

different problem now.
its fine on idle,but driving it sounds like its missing/stuttering under acceleration,best I can explain it really.
