P Atkins in Mansfield tested mine but like I said the injector wasn’t the main problem and still wouldn’t run right after replacing it
Did you recondition the injector or buy new?
I bought new it was £392.30 plus vat for testing all injectors and 1 new injector

Probably a naive question but did they remove all six to test? Just wondered if there is a method of testing in situ.

I'm perfectly happy for all six to come out, but in a 2006 car I guess some or all will be brittle to say the least!
