Good evening

Anyone know anyone selling a metering head, i have spoken to Dave-H but he only has non working ones at present and o spoke to Ken Mills but i am looking at over 400 to get mine refurbed.
Alternatively if i could borrow one to test that it is the metering head at fault my i have the car running on a volvo or lotus one but only on 3 cylinders as the one that came with the car just leaks fuel everywhere. part number 0438100109 my lotus / volvo one is 0438100076 any help appreciated

I dont know anybody selling one, but I will just say that I had mine refurbed by Ken Mills 10 years ago and its never gave any problems. I know its a hefty price but at least you know it will be done right.

Are you not getting fuel to the injectors?

Before NickT says it, pressure test!

I have changed the injectors and i am only getting fuel on 3 injectors all on the right as you look at the engine, I have replaced fuel pump and filter but don't have kit for pressure test but will look on ebay.

Have you swapped the injectors over to see if the issue is with the injectors or the metering head?

I have a couple of metering heads which should be good to go. 1 DeLorean one and 1 Volvo I think, happy for you to borrow one while you trouble shoot.

James please let me have a bank details and I will send you postage costs etc. if I could borrow one just for a weekend to confirm it is the head before I spend the cash on a new unit please. I am happy to transfer a large deposit which you can send back or anything you want please.

I'll not be able to get hold of it until Tuesday next week when I'm at my folks house.

No deposit, I'm yet to be fleeced by anyone I've met on the Eurotec forum, I'll let you know on postage shouldn't be much

Yes you did I followed up with two emails saying yes please 5 injectors and a head and my address details but i had no reply so thought you had changed your mind. Please send me your payment details. James do you still have my details for the steering wheel that you had covered for me. Still worth loaning one from you as well please as a triple check.

Delorean part number ends 109
