$400/injector sounds like a great price... I was told at least double that from a local LR mechanic shop.....

btw: Is there any difference between the 2.2 and 2.4 injectors(are the injectors the same?) Also, is there any BIG price difference between the 2?

the injector price was what i was quoted by Transit Automotive when i made an enquiry to replace my 2.4, that was 18 months ago. I have no information if there is a difference between the injectors for the 2 engines. Call Transit Automotive and ask him, he is approachable and generally offers a little extra info, for example i called about replacement turbo (mine is whining suggesting a bearing) and he said to drop the sump and clean the oil pick up line. While it may be obvious to a mechanic, for us punters having that info gives us a fighting chance to ask the right questions of your own mechanic.

Dealer is suggesting a replacement engine, as parts to repair are so expensive for Land Rover! Mine is a 2012, used 80% on long country driving, 20% on farm. The Td5 and Tdi s that I have run, have all done to the 200kms, so not too happy with this one. Have been a LR owner since 1977 and this one is No. 13 for me......

Macro you have PM

So what's the way to avoid this problem? would an EGT meter detect the extra fuel going into the motor or is it a matter of replacing the injectors as a preventative measure?

Having seen and talked to owners there was no warning. Literally rattle rattle bang. About 8 seconds from 'whats that sound?' To stopping on the side of the road....😣😣

No I would say defective pistons

Injector failure will melt even the best pistons....

Is there a way for home gamer like me to test or replace injectors?

I will have nanacom bas2 and JLR v145
