Welcome back to another Luci adventure-repair! As you may know, we took Luci on a "little" drive to the Peak District and our Double Six needed some love.

In this video, you'll follow me along as I fix not just the one fuel injector that seems to be leaking ever so slightly, but all 12. It's always better to be safe in cases like this, because we don't like car fires!

Below, you'll find a step-by-step guide on how to do this properly and swiftly. As you'll be able to see, I may or may not have taken the more adventurous route, going off-book and having to redo some bits. To prevent you from wasting time, the instructions below prevent said mistakes - oops!

How to replace your fuel injector hoses on a XJS, XJ12 or Daimler Double Six
0:00 Recap of what we put Luci through
1:10 What we need to move to get to our fuel system

Step 1: Depressurise your fuel system (Get those rags out to quickly!)

Step 2: Undo the fuel lines between the rail and the fuel pressure regulators.

Step 3: Carefully remove the metal pins on each injector loom plug and release the plugs (if these break, there’s a kit available to replace plugs on eBay).

Step 4: Cut the cable ties holding the loom to the fuel rail.

Step 5: Remove the throttle rods (noting which one was on each side).

Step 6: Remove the throttle cable.

Step 7: Undo the 24 nuts and washers holding the injectors on (I recommend an extendable magnet to get all of the nuts/washers).

Step 8: Sing a little to keep you going (2:30)

Step 9: Carefully prise the injector rail from the inlet manifold.

Step 10: Lay the rail on a clean flat surface and make a note of the plug orientation of the injectors.(3:07)

Step 11: Cut each injector hose in the middle.

Step 12: Remove the metal which secures the rings around the body of the injector, place the injector in a vice and carefully cut the metal collet off the hose. (4:10)

Step 13: Remove the hose, being careful not to cut into the injector (avoid using blades) as these leave micro-cuts which may become leaks in the future. (4:28)

Step 14: Repeat the same process removing the hose from the rail.

Step 15: Cut the pintle cap off the injector with a blade.

Step 16: Remove the rubber seal (check if any were stuck in the inlet manifold).

Step 17: Pull the filter out of the top of the injector, using a screw in a vice.

Step 18: Using the Master Injector ring, glued to a wood clamp (with a hole, as shown in the video), refit the pintle cap and basket filters in one motion. (6:00)

Step 19: Dip the hoses either in alcohol or clean engine oil, wipe off the excess and push onto each hose onto the injector with collet in place. (7:29)

Step 20: Flush through the rail to remove any debris. (8:22)

Step 21: Then put the metal mounting plate on the rail and repeat the process above to fit injectors onto the rail. (8:33)

Step 22: Refit the rail to the inlet manifold. (10:21)

Step 23: Before fitting the fuel lines to the rail, change the fuel filter and run the fuel pump into a jerry can to flush out the fuel lines - a litre should be more than enough. (10:44)

Step 24: Reconnect everything, pressurise, check for leaks. (11:32)

Step 25: Smile at a good job well done!
