£2k for supply & fit is an utter ripoff  also, the fact they are just saying "change all of them" is annoying, if you have 3 knackered ones across both banks, its perfectly fine to run 3 matched Index 11's and 3 others on the other bank, as long as they are properly coded.
I've budgeted circa £150 each for new injectors, or up to £100 each for Index 11's 2nd hand (they seem to last better than previous indexes), bear in mind that you'll need this tool in order to get the new teflon seals on the end of the injector if you buy 2nd hand: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-Mar...l/153201885798 |
I'll get these, which aren't second hand as far as I could tell from the classified:

I don't have any tools and I'm not too handy with mechanical/hardware stuff at all so I'd rather let working with the combustion components of an already rather fragile engine to the hands of someone who knows what they're doing
If you're that confident, Surrey isn't too far away from me so if you're looking to make a fair quid replacing these over a Saturday sometime soon let me know
