    So member Notenoughtime is in need of a WUR :(

    Looking on eBay prices are starting from 85 ranging up to 300+ for a rebuilt one :(

    Is this the way prices will go as our cars get rarer or are people just being greedy / speculating on need being greater than the price .

    Thoughts?:thumbup:

    You have answered your own question ... ;)

    The rebuilt & modified unit that I have was `done` by KMI (Kem Mills Injection), can not recall the cost but `not cheap` ... sitting on the shelf as part of the pension fund :)

    A bit of both. Prices will always go up as parts get harder to find but there are some d*cks out there, especially on ebay, that think a 30 year old K-jet metering head is worth 150..

    Prices seem to have got expensive as greedy b****ards say it's rare etc and no real proof it actually works correctly

    Thanks to pigbladder I have one now on the car and it's off to the rollers tomorrow morning

    I'll order a rebuild kit and rebuild the old one and see if it works worth a punt at 34

    So my eBay purchase of a air box metering head fuel lines and injectors was a steal at 25.:p
    I'm stocking up on spares when they come by me cheap.its going save s as these get really old.
    Some bits mabe past useful life.but then so could the expensive stuff.

    I was the same, all sorts of KJet stuff tucked away ... but since decided to get modern :p

    KMI can refurbish it and are excellent to deal with :thumbup:

    Agree with jamesa.
    KMI great to deal with, my cold start regulator was back inside ten days ( I was told I was lucky - they were just doing a batch and mine arrived just in time or it would have been longer).
    OK it was expensive but hey who said running older cars was cheap and a doddle .
    It was very clean on return and worked straight away, problem of very very difficult to start disappeared !
