Anyone in Southampton area have a diesel injector removal tool suitable for a Boxer 2.0 BlueHdi/Ford DW10FUD (AHN) engine?

Yes, I've found some, but they are quite expensive (£100 or more - per injector!) and how do you know if they are any good? It's another option if I can't get them out myself.

Still cheaper than taking the head off, or buying special tooling that you'll only use once (unless you can find second hand or an ebay special).

Still the cheapest option by far.

I've looked into this and there are some not too far away, but they are all expensive, at £100+, per injector! It's an option, but a last option for me.

We do it in our workshop - we got the Pichler kits here (most of them).

But I charge more than a £100 quid a port to extract injectors - the cost of the tooling and sacrificial threaded adapters - plus the time it takes - makes this a more "than a £100 an job".

£100 quid to get a stuck injector out - looks cheap to me!

its probably finding the right person who is competant and can be recomended is the hold up, we have all had experiance of the "expert" turning up with all the gear but maybe not quite the experiance to do a job(in many trades) , I had to take a one injector back out of a set serviced by a well reputed company , diesel leaking out the top cap after full service/test , refitted ..still the same, ended up buying another as they were nt to be trusted and it was a few hours stripping and refitting again. yes they offered for me to take it in, but as they lashed it up twice I was nt about to be told its duff , as they should have found the fault after testing twice, then it would be xxhours labour plus new injector ,plus vat, would have been in the late hundreds by the time they finished. so I understand the trepidation , but sooner or later you have to bite the bullet .
