diesel leakage in bethlehem

Hello now from bethlehem
Here now a longer text.
Last year i went to bosch diesel electric in bethlehem to check my injectors. They did the job, spoiled 2 injectors, i got second hand other ones, but they had a problem with fitting them correct. There was allways a leakage. After 2 days it was ok, but the head was broken arround the injectors. Completely spoiled. They tightened the injectors to hard. Of course they said,that the cracks were there before. (Ha ha, i drove the last 10000km with a broken head, but no chance of dicussion) So i had to buy a new head , second hand, and a lot of work. 14000 rand. They had the car for more than 4 month, then they gave it to another garage here, ferreira, for some other works. When i came to SA 10 days ago, only a few things were fixed. Ferreira sent a long list of parts, what they would need, but in fact most of these parts in the car where ok and they did not change them, strange. Now they are working since 10 day on the diesel pipes between pump and injectors. 2 injectors were leaking again, diesel electric tried to fix them again and now they spoiled the leakage pipe. It was repaired on a strange way by melting metal on the surface, because one of the bosch mechanics grinded the surface to much , bahhhh. But they can not fix it. Allway a big leakage of diesel. From the beginning ferreira said, that it is a problem of the washers between the leakage pipe and the injectors. They are allways working on these washers. They say, that they do not have the right size, they are not available in SA. But that is not true. I asked nissan in germany,the washers in germany are 100% the same size. They ordered new ones from somewere. Arrive next week. So i am shure, that it will not work. I found a diesel spezialist in meyerton who told me, that it is not possible, that the problem depends on the washers. There are only 2 places, where the diesel could come from.
Now i need someone like an traveling diesel specialist, who is comming to bethlehem to support us. The car can not drive and i have no chance to tow the car 250 km to meyerton. The repair costs now more then my income in 2 month, bethlehem is nice town, but in fact i wanted to see your country and not only a garage. In 2,5 weeks we fly back and i do not see, that we can start our safari within the next weeks.
