| Thanks for the replies guys. In a different car if this was to happen I would say the engine mounts have broken, it can be that severe. I have messaged the garage back and I'm waiting for a response. |

I'm hoping I can recover the cost of the previous 2 injectors yes.
I have the injectors to return along with the copies of the test paperwork showing that they failed the benchmarks.

| Are the valve blocks located on each suspension leg? Sounds like a big job. I think in the past my pumps have had to overwork due to this internal leak and that's why they've failed. |
