Most of the well known injector overhaul places offer a postal service - might be better than trying to find someone local?

http://www.injectortune.co.uk
http://www.injectorcleaning.co.uk
http://www.fuelinjectorclinic.co.uk/

Lots of these people just use the ASNU machines - so don't know if there is much to choose between them?

The ASNU site does list all their agents in the UK as well and the closest ones are:
http://www.bellsautoservices.co.uk/ (about 10 miles East of Winchester)
http://www.sharpautos.co.uk/ (Bracknell)

Maybe worth a call to one of those to see what services they offer?


If anyone has a recommendation after using one I'd also be interested to know!

I would have suggested the same thing TBH.

I've even looked into home cleaning methods using ultrasonics but decided that the hassle just isn't worth it. It makes it a bit of a pain as the cheap used injectoprs from a higher BHP model suddenly become expensive so a quick home test is my plan before fitting 540cc injectors to ensure they are not hosing and have a spray pattern similar to a new set. The concept of playing around around with petrol flame thrower doesn't really appeal though!

Hmmm , ok guys many thanks for the info and suggestions ;) . I have contacted the first name on Daves list using the online form on Wednesday evening , but as yet they have not responded and i will not be chasing them further :( . Will look at some of the others in due course and decide from there .
With JP on the do it at home front , it really is a job for the companies with the right equipment and safety precautions...with a report at the end to satisfy my mechanic all is well before installation .
