      I did not have that issue when I changed mine on a 2005 XJR.
      Also I have had very few issues with my 2013 Range Rover HSE. Its heavy on gas but I do not commute in it. The XJR was amazingly good with fuel economy. I did have a water/meth injection system on it.

    I was 22 when I was tboned by a guy that ran a stop sign. Impact was so hard the whiplash messed my back up so bad it’s changed my life. The guy drove away, I didn’t think he would cause his car was so messed up. Well long story short, cops could t find him even tho I had the first three of his plate and many parts to his car. So I hired Morgan and Morgan they reassured me they would find him and make it right with all my bills that accrued from the hospital and physical therapy….poor communication and 6 months later I found out they didn’t do anything except go after my uninsured motorist insurance from my ins company…took 7k for them and left me with 3k and my rates went up and I was left with a totaled car and 15k in hospital bills. F$&@ m&m they only want the big money stuff they don’t care about the little guy.

    Dude, don’t listen to anybody. I am a fan of them also. I bought my LR three probably eight years ago and I love it. Like you, I fix my own vehicle and save myself probably tens of thousands of dollars doing so. Considering that most garages want $500 to replace $50 spark plugs. That take 10 minutes and while I’m at it I always replace my ignition coils at the same time. The point being that, as I said in another post… If you love these vehicles, they are a labor of love. But when they are running good, there is nothing else on the road like them. The air shocks in mine are heavenly. You don’t feel any bump on the road. It is the smoothest running vehicle I’ve ever felt
    Not to mention the 15 speaker surround sound system in it. If you love these vehicles, then you’re going to be willing to work on them to keep them running well. If you can’t bring yourself to go under the hood, then you’re going to spend tens of thousands of dollars fixing $1000 worth of parts that you could replace yourself in minutes, if not an hour or so.
    So keep enjoying it, like I enjoy mine. The naysayers, maybe they had some horrible experiences with theirs… And maybe, they took them to a garage and probably almost passed out at what they wanted to charge them to fix the stupidest and easiest of things.
    Hope you had a merry Christmas and have a wonderful new year.

    Pretty sure the heavy smoking is because the ECM had cranked down the long term fuel delivery because of the rich reading form the senor on the exhaust and now when the injectors actualy works the short term compensation have to adjust the delivery untill long term gets to a normal level again.

    • @LugW0rm

    Now that you got the fuel system cleaned up I would highly recommend replacing the upstream O2 sensors. They are probably super fouled, and on supercharged or turbo vehicles I would say the service life on them is about 80k miles before needing new ones.

    Good job on the fuel injectors, I was rooting for ya. I wonder if you turned the fuel rail bolts out of the head just enough to place a washer or a thin piece of steel over the bolt holes on the head. Keep the fuel rail attached to the injectors and turn the bolts evenly to back out all injectors on that rail at once? So, back out the first bolt on the fuel rail just enough to slide a washer in, the washer hole is too small for the bolt to pass through and it's a durable washer. Then turn the fuel rail bolt clockwise like you're going to tighten the fuel rail back to the head. Repeat this for all bolts, get them snug. Then start torquing them like you would a cam shaft to evenly pull out all injectors on that rail. The fuel rail looked like aluminum so it might take the force. IDK I use this technique to widen the clasp on a steering knuckle to fit a new strut base in sometimes. Merry Christmas!

      If that's true, it sounds like the fuel quality is absolute rubbish. One of my old 4 wheel drives used to do that too but to clean it's act up I used to put 50/50 Avgas & 95 fuel in it and what a difference that made. Woke it up and cleaned out it's whole system even the tail pipe was clean after that. I'd do the fuel mix thing every year or so. Still got the vehicle 26 years later & still a good rig. You never get rid of old Reliable.

    The thing with these "fake" injectors is that they are probably from the same factory the real ones came from, but simply failed testing or were binned in a worse performing selection. The factory then makes some shady deal and the cheap injectors still reach the market and look identical while performing far worse.

      i work in a factory that makes tpms sensors and a lot of marginal failed parts where going missing instead of being scrapped, turned out one of the shifts Q.A engineers was stealing them by the box load and selling them on ebay. police where involved and a lot of people where interviewed, end result was he got sacked but no charges where pressed against him... not sure why but probably the company didn't want the bad publicity. so yes a lot of parts flood the market that aren't just fakes but stolen property

    I totally join you: I you haven't tried a RR, you can't understand the experience. I guess it's why so many people still dream of these cars and why RR is such a success. 3 years ago, I would have never imagined owning one, especially due to its bad reputation. The previous owner lent it to me for a month prior deciding whether buying or not. And boy, there was no more turning back !!! Definitely more expensive than driving a toyota, but don't forget the pleasure it awakens. It has become a passion and I follow you 1000% Samcrac, whatever you hapiness costs ;).

    I always like what Land Rover dealerships would do. Back in the late '80s and early '90s each dealership had challenges right on their property so you could feel and learn how to take it off road. They had a fake hill they had some rocks then they had one where you put the front tire on and move up slowly and you could see how much flex was built in to the vehicle. I know there's something else they had cannot think of it off the top of my head.
    I absolutely love the one that you are working on now. They really up their game on interior.
    Look forward to watching your next video. I hope you have a great holiday.

    DO NOT TAKE THE CAP OFF THE INJECTORS BEFORE INSTALLATION, The teflon seal starts to expand once the cap is removed, which is how it seals itself to the cylinder head, you have about a 5-15 minute window to install the injector once the cap is removed

      There is a seal tool part number JLR9899. Removal of teflon seal makes no difference, the tool is designed to be used in a two stage procedure, once performed you have 10 minutes to seat the injectors and rail per JLR procedure.

      I don't understand this comment. The cap on the tip doesn't cover the teflon seal. The teflon seal is installed, and I didn't touch them. There is no install window. There is a tool to install NEW teflon seals on old injectors; the only way I could've removed these would've been to cut them off; this is how stupid information spreads.

    • @Nautricity

The N54 installation time is 5-15 minutes once the cap is removed in order to allow for proper expansion into the head of the engine.
