Well the dealer has said that he will look into it for me, but he wants the car for a week at least based on him taking the injectors out to be sent to a local specialist for testing. If a fault is confirmed, then send them away for cleaning/reconditioning then re-installation.

Sounds like a right pain for me, since I need the car to get around every day, and he doesn't have any courtesy cars

Surely it can't be that hard for them to remove the injectors, have them tested the same day and replace them with new/already re-conditioned injectors from the shelf would it? Would a diesel injector specialist not hold onto new/recon for stock?

Checking online, Eurocarparts have them for £121 each (recon) (Injector) that could probably be collected and installed the same day if a garage had the right mind...
