A new injector can be had for £50 delivered on Ebay

A standard exhaust cat back can cost you around £100 from www.buypartsby.co.uk. Aftermarket exhausts maybe cheaper.

cool, mate cheers

really wanna get it fixed now.

anyone got ideas about bad earths? as it also doesnt like starting cause of bad earth.

bad earth is probably the main earth strap from gearbox to chassis, although a battery that hasnt been used for 2 years will definatgely need replacing no matter how many times you try to charge it. also clean & grease the battery terminals.

a scrapyard injector costs £5, its very easy to do yourself. the procedure is described in detail in several previous threads, so is the method for diagnosing injectors using a umltimeter. its a very very very very common problem on the 1.6

cool, i have tried a couple of breakers and scrapyards most wont break the engines to let me get injectors

even now the car is driving me nuts, trying to clean it all after 2 years of sitting there, lol
and trying to get standard exhaust is being a nightmare as well.
