Because sometimes when you order parts online you get what you want and sometimes you get a potato I thought I'd share a good result.

1986 Jaguar XJS Fuel Injector - FJ633 Standard Motor Products - $58.33

This part is a new injector not rebuilt. Comes with a long hose so it can be used in any position. Hose, ferrule, clamp, mounting bushing and seal are all included! Quite a good deal in my opinion. Particularly compared to what some sites ask. $30 core charge.






Sometimes these boards have rules against advertising a site etc so I've left that bit out. If putting the source here is ok I'll add it.

 

I really can't stomach paying $700 for new injectors, but maybe I could buy one once a month and have a new set before I know it?

 

Sounds like a good plan to me!

Little follow up on this specific part.

While I am very pleased with the part and it's working very well the mounting bushing that is provided in this kit is useless. It's not the same size as those I pulled off my car or the replacements I installed. These are not tight enough to seat down in their groove and are smaller in outer diameter too. It would not do a good job securing the injector. I used the one that I'd previously replaced on my old injector.

The provided clamp is a fine fuel injection clamp but the hose is the proper size and I simply reused the ferrule. Perfect fit.

 

If it is a new part, why would they want the core?

 

They Don't want the Core as these are New!

Unlike some of the other Sites that are selling rebuilt replacements.

 

Hi Carl

That's a Bargain alright! I would be very happy to pay that, as some firms are charging Ł100 (UK) just for the Hose Kit, plus another Ł24 for 12 of those Injector rubber seals.

Good find and well spotted.

 

It is a refurb... Only reason they want the old one back. Some places will overhaul all your injectors for say €200 (so about $220)...

 

It is not unheard of to sell brand new parts with a core charge. This is often how a supply of rebuildable cores is established.

For just one example, years ago (and perhaps still), GM launched a huge line of rebuilt engines, transmissions, p/s pumps, and other components. In many cases the first few of any part number sold were brand new...but with a core charge. Those early buyers were lucky ! .

So, a possibility in this case is that whoever is supplying these new injectors to Intermotor does indeed want used injectors coming back to be refurbished and sold as 'remanufactured'.

I assume they also produce rebuilt units and this is a sourcing method. I agree. Odd. But the unit does look freshly manufactured.
