I am currently just shy of 250k miles and my injectors have never been out of the engine, so I would say that yours should be fine for quite a while yet.

I should think it depends on your driving style and use.
Mine does an awful lot of short journeys and quite often sits at idle whilst I'm doing jobs on the farm (naughty I know). When I pulled my injectors and had them tested , two failed . I bought two more and the difference was noticeable but not extreme. Over the past seven years I've replaced all four injectors. I imagine a good leg stretch weekly and some higher RPM's once in a while would do my engine a world of good ! https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

I have just removed the front leaking injector and found it very dirty and full of carbon build up, the tip also looks tapered or ballooned, does this happen when the injector seal goes? Is that injector useable?

Just replace with genuine spec new ones... personally never found recon to be good. Usually more of a con than a recon.
I can help with new ones if needed. IRB The home of the first modified Keswick Green 90 - and the first 2.4 Puma through both the 200bhp and 550Nm barriers. www.IRBdevelopments.com www.facebook.com/irbdevelopments www.integrated316.com www.facebook.com/integrated316 |

Yeah I am going to have to replace that one anyway, the injector seat where the washer seals is damaged so likely why it was leaking. How much can you supply new ones for?
