Paul Winterton's Legacey Injector Service Continues

[joysterm]

To the FAQ community & Tii owners in particular,

 

I am happy to report Paul's cousin,  Ronnie Musoke has taken up the responsibility to continue this service. I would like to introduce Ronnie to our BMW community by way of a brief history. But before I do I would like to pass along a brief story that led up to this point.

 

For those of us that had the distinct honour of knowing  Paul,  all knew how much this community meant to him and how much pleasure he got by passing along his knowledge and expertise to others.  It was a huge part of his life. When he finally had to come  to terms with the prospects we all must face,  he wanted to make sure what he started would continue to benefit the BMW community. So much so in fact,  he literally spent the last few hours of his life ensuring his knowledge would be passed along to someone he trusted and worthy of his efforts.  Ronnie was humbled that Paul took him under his wing to teach him everything he knew about reconditioning DLO-20D injectors.

 

As a ranger and safari guide in Africa, having a working vehicle was imperative as it was Ronnie Musoke’s livelihood.  He had to be resourceful while maintaining and fixing his vehicle when it broke down in extreme situations (like dodging lions and elephants) in the middle of nowhere. Ronnie met his Canadian wife in Uganda, and immigrated to British Columbia in 2013.  Living in Squamish, he had the opportunity to work as a mechanic for Whistler Automotive for two years.  His family currently lives in Ladner and he is apprenticing as a journeyman for H-Vac systems.

 

As a BMW enthusiast, Ronnie was honoured to share this passion with his cousin, the late Paul Winterton.  They were always comparing notes about tinkering and repairs as this has always been a hobby that they had in common.  To honour Paul’s legacy, Ronnie would like to continue his good work and collaborate with the BMW community. He will now be monitoring the Injector Service thread for anyone who is interested in enlisting his services.

 

 Ronnie’s phone 778-859-1837 and his e-mail is lubanmus@yahoo.com

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Regards...Mike

Welcome Ronnie!  You have huge shoes to fill, as I'm sure you know.  We are all glad you are picking up Paul's passion.

Welcome Ronnie! Happy to hear Paul's impassioned work will carry on, I'll be in touch for sure.

This is wonderful to hear! It turned out that I got one of the last set of rebuilt injectors from Paul----I contacted him a few weeks ago and he responded a few days later and said he was unwell, but could sell me a set of injectors outright. I PayPal-ed him the money and wished him well. Sadly, we all heard of the news of his passing a few days later.

 

I had a tracking number from Canada Post, but with no ETA. I decided to leave the situation alone for the time being and let Paul's family grieve. But, a set of injectors showed up at my shop less than a week later! I installed them that evening, and then took my 2002tii on the road rally that I posted about last week. As advertised, much quicker cold startup, and a bit crisper running overall. It was sad to hear about the loss of a fellow enthusiast, but hopefully flogging my 2002tii for over 700 miles with the 470 PSI matched set of injectors firing away was a fitting tribute!

Proud of you Ronnie! Paul was a great bloke and his injector service is a must-have upgrade for any tii owner IMHO. Tii owners do not hesitate - smoother performance/revs/idling, better MPGs, greater power. Great news!
