HOW CAN I FIX MY VAUXHALL ASTRA VAN 1700 DIESEL K REG?

THE 4th CYLINDER FUEL INJECTION PIPE KEEPS SNAPPING AT THE INJECTOR END (FOR THE 4th TIME) PIPE CLAMPS AND ENGINE MOUNTINGS OK,NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY??

Hi,
I'm not sure of the position of the pipe, but if there is no obvious reason such as, pipe too long/short, causing stress fractures. Then have a look to see that there is clearance once you close the bonnet. Also, if the pipe is "P" clipped on the chassis, get someone to rev the engine to see how much the engine moves in relation to the chassis. Constant movement will also cause stress fractures.
Cheers now
