Forgive me as there are no pics with this thread.
Today I had my injectors replaced at a local garage. For the last 23 years I've done all my own Landcruiser work but this time I entrusted it to Oliver Laws Vehicle Services at Killamarsh, just outside Sheffield. Oliver has 3 Cruisers himself and had just done the injectors on his own 120 so I knew he knew what he was doing.
My injectors had just started to give the "knock" for a few seconds on start up but cleared in seconds so I knew they were getting ready. I bought new as members I'd spoken to having fitted recon ones said they'd have bought new if they'd had a second chance. Also I had fitted a Tunit chip thing and a new cam belt.
The end result is that it is transformed, its very smooth, very quiet and goes like it has all of its claimed + 40 BHP, so about " Invincible" 200 BHP. Overtaking is the most noticeable benefit, just a slight squeeze and you're past.
In the end the total for the exercise inc the bits was about £1100, it could be done for less with recon injectors but 120 owners with 120+K miles will have it to do or risk engine damage.
I just remembered, Oliver adjusted the geometry on my lifted 100 series to get rid of the positive camber another garage left after fitting new top wishbones so he knows his stuff.
