Hi folks, Looking for some advice... I have a C3 Picasso diesel which has twice broken down requiring injector replacement, 6 months either side of the warranty wearing out, at approx 32 and 45k miles. The dealer is now strongly advising I replace the currently broken injector, plus the 2 as yet untouched injectors at a combined cost of £2,300. His alternative is to replace just one for £1,100. The quote is also going through some kind of Citroen only-just-out-of-warrantee procedure to try and get the cost down, I'm not sure how much impact that's going to have. I can see some point in changing them all together, and avoiding 2 more apparently imminent breakdowns. On the other hand, I expect injectors to last longer than 45k miles, and paying an extra £1,200 to replace them "just in case" is a lot of money I don't have. I'm also not sure if this means I can expect a repeat of the problem in a couple of years' time. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I've otherwise been very happy with the car Thanks, Graeme
