Ducato 3.0 2015 comfortmatic 43k miles, sits happily on idling but when driving I've got errors on injector 1 (P0262) and 3 (P0268), *fuel gauge drops to zero*. I've had injector 4 replaced and this reads 175ohms across pins within 2 seconds, with an ohm meter, however, the on the rest of the 3 injectors, the meter readings climb up slowly. I believe 1,2,3 are faulty but 2 never shows an error.
 
3.0 Injector clamp Bolts. Does anyone know where to get these for a reasonable price as they're extortionate prices out there.
 
Thank you, are these stretch type as I've been told thats what i need to replace them with. Also where to source them from please?

Stretch bolts aren't cheap to start with, I'd just bite the bullet with genuine.

How much have to you seen them for ?

How about these> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125110064210

Double check fitment, but when I was searching earlier it looks like 2.3 and 3 are same part

That postage costs bring it to over £20 a bolt

Why would you need stretch bolts. You are only holding an injector down.
Just make sure there is clearance and the thread in the head is very clean. A tube on a vacuum must be used & the use of a scriber or similar to be sure nothing is left in the hole. I put a thin coating of grease around the shank to hopefully make it easier to remove one day down the track.

I agree, but I was only going by what I was told that they have to be stretch bolts, as im working around the vehicle to restore everything i can to original. I'll look at what is available and prepare as I'm awaiting delivery of 3 new injectors.
 
UPDATE:

Hi all,
In my late 50's I've seen and experienced much of life and the world, these days I find not many takes pride in doing their job and are just there to get their salary and that's it. My vehicle recently added more work meaning I 'still' haven't had it running on the road aside the odd day or two earlier in the year to get it through the MOT, before the remaining 3 injectors failed. Those that follow me on here, (and helped for which I thank you very much) will know I went through a lot including the sudden and unexpected loss of my best friend who was to do a lot of the work on my vehicle, but I'm picking myself up and slowly working my way through it. The transmission issue of jumping into neutral is still there but the injector issues took priority as they would now instantly fail after start up, with them previously showing errors and shutting down intermittently but regularly. Once again I was left totally disheartened as the progress just halted for months due to costs, one step forward and two step back kind of thing.
So, I had to replace one injector last year which had broken in the head at great cost in the end. I now had to source another 3 and I bought them with a risk as they are used.
HOWEVER, I found someone I can HIGHLY recommend, someone who's service has restored my faith in humanity, this young man has offered impeccable service, he's approachable, he listens, and does exactly what he says he would! If you need any injector work then you probably won't find as good a service as his in UK. This is a man called Jakob, his company is called Diesel Service of Gloucester ltd. Address is Unit 3, rear of 20 Hempstead Lane, Gloucester, GL2 5JA UK. I will post his private number with his permission he just asks please 'only call between 9am and 5pm UK time please'.
