Default Disco II TD5 injectors

Hi everyone;

I have the typical TD5 situation injectors nightmare. My 2003 Land Rover Discovery II only 4 of the 5 injectors (the green ones part # MSC000030) have "passed away". with subsequent problems

So need to get new ones, however, the price for each of then is super high if new. I know other Disco owners who have bought used ones and have been lucky so far. Nevertheless, my mechanic have been emphatic in avoid getting used ones due to the potential problems could eventually come out because of installing used injectors.

I noticed there are many used ones for sale on Ebay as well as other sites.

Is it ok to get used injectors or am I jumping on a high risk adventure here?

Any lessons learned, suggestions, etc, etc will be more than welcome.

Regards

Holy ****, £225 per injector?!

I'm seeing used ones for £50 all over ebay. You could buy 6 just in case, and still be in good shape. I would definitely go the used route and not even think twice about it.

Thanks Racer X. Certainly pricey new ones. Found a seller in the UK offering those in good condition. Just need to get the seals and washers and cross my fingers.

I wonder what would be the cause for 4 out of 5 failed. Not common.
