dodgy injector
heard a tinking sound start last week and it seemed to get worse, so i popped off the placky engine cover to have a scoot round and smelt a bit of burnt diesel, looked closer and the drivers side 3rd injector, the 1 furthest back looks like it's been leaking....has anyone done a fix on one of these before and is it an easy fix, i'm an engineer with access to a world of goochy tools, but just wondered if you need any special landy tools for the job.
it's probably the o-ring seal thats failed and needs replacing. any help would be appreciated

Just thought "that sounds familiar", will have a look under the plastic cover at mine, just in case!
DSL - just remove the oil filler cap and pull the cover upwards - it will pop off the fastners quite easily.Previously:
