Does the kit (Greg in France) post have all the parts needed ?
Yes, the two links include everything. But what is your injector loom like, Mac?

I don't know what shape the injectors are in, I was assuming they were okay, they all work.I was gonna replace all the rubber gas lines to the injectors.

I meant the loom with the plugs on it Mac, not the actual injectors. It would be a good time to replace it if it is in poor shape.

Perhaps a bit of translation is in order:
British English: Wiring loom
American English: Wiring Harness
Describes the same thing.

Thanks (Greg in France) and (Jagboi64) yes, I want to replace all with new while everything is off, don't want any future fires. Far as I know everything is 27 years old. Probably should replace injectors too.

Cannot do any harm, but they seem to last for ever, so not a real priority, say I.

Someone on another thread ((if I remember correctly)) said an injector had a crack and started a fire, I believe he had pics of his arm burnt.

That is true, Mac; but I doubt the thing just cracked all on its own. More likely someone cracked it while trying to force something else, eg remove a plug and the tool slipped, etc etc. I hasten to add I am NOT suggesting the guy who got burned did it, no doubt someone in the car's dark past. These things happen in workshops.

Smart move.

I have never replaced an Injector is any Jag over very many years, and miles travelled.

Hoses, usually at the 5-8 year mark, but our Summers are Brutal, so in cooler climates, 8-10 years would be enough, BUT, a visual at each oil change will do NO harm.
