If you have a look at the pages that I have and tell me the id code of the bits you need I can lookup the nissan part numbers for you.

Any diesel workshop will have these on the shelf, for standard banjo fittings in a range of diameters and thicknesses.

Well i cant see the banjo fitting on any of the diagrams the middle 1 looks like the right part assy but it doesnt show the washers or fitting.
Nayway i pulled it off and looked at it an they are 5/8 or 16mm washers.
I just polished them up with a bit of emery and put em back on if that dont work ill buy soem from the auto shop .
Thanks
Dave

Id be suprised if its the copper washers leaking. It will more likely be a leaking hose crimp on the high pressure hose. Pirtek or Enzed can repair it.

well it is only leakin at the bottom of the banjo fitting there doesnt seem to be any coming from around the actual hose crimp?
When i had the washers off they where a little discoloured in 1 spot on 1 face on both washers .
hopefuly its all good dont want any more dramas.

a little bit of heat on the copper , let them cool down then bolt them up . this soften the copper a little bit. this is the tight arse way of doing it or you could go and buy some new ones.
