Default Freelander injector problems

Hi,

If any of you could advise me on what to do with my following situation I would be more than appreciated!!

Will keep the story as short as possible..
Basically my landrover freelander td4 (04 plate) was acting lumpy, slow, losing power, knocking..I took it to a landrover specialist who told me one injector needed replacing, when they did the work they told me another injector was slightly playing up but was so minor it didnt show up on their diagnostics machine. I drove home I noticed the work had not been carried out properly, I had paid for work that hadn't been done as all the above problems were still very noticeable. I rung them and they told me it was the other injector that they said was slightly worn so would need another one replacing...(funny to say when they told me it was a slight problem and it didnt show up)
Got the other one changed 5 weeks ago, this week the car started playing up again..bear in mind I now have two new injectors, it was lumpy again and I really didn't feel safe driving it as it kept cutting out on me. I decided to get to the work investigated, I sent off my injectors through Armstrong Massey Landrover Garage (not the same garage that did the work) The report has come back to tell me I have 3 faulty injectors, 2 of which are the ones the landrover specialist garage have replaced with new ones 5 weeks ago - however they are faulty MG injectors!? Surely this is not right !?

What can I do with the garage that changed the injectors with faulty MG injectors? They never mentioned they were MG injectors and just sent me on my way. Can something be done as now I am looking to fork out another £700-800 for work to be carried out on my car because of 3 faulty injectors ... which I just cannot afford !! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time.

Here in the US many pay for repairs on a credit card, which allows you to dispute the bill. The shop has the funds instantly withdrawn from their account. The card company takes the position that the customer is always right, until proven otherwise.

We also have small claims court, no attorney involved, but lengthy process.

Any warranty from first shop? Shop owners don't like it when their employees make mistakes.
