Yes for sure that's what I'm going to do

Everything has been going well but haven't been on a freeway, I am hoping it was just dirty/ rich fuel

Are you coming to the D3/4/RRS weekend, would be a shame if you weren't, although you may not want to risk it I imagine.

Yup, thats a show stopper for the D3...., I recommend people replace them at 80K old/ 3years MAX!

Yes Justin I have asked if there is anything else lurking and the guy recommended replacing the injectors
