I probably phrased that wrong, and did the garage a disservice. I think they were implying that it wouldn't get through another MOT unless the problem got fixed, and I'm also doubting myself about the £700. Or it may be that they didn't give me the whole story as they were (as usual) extremely busy. I'll go and have a chat as per Paws suggestion. If 4 new injectors plus seals is all it takes and there aren't a load of other things on the way out then it has to be worth doing. As Ed says if the job does cost £700 it may feel like a lot of money, when you compare it to the potential cost of any replacement it isn't, and anything I bought would lose/cost 700 a year one way or another through depreciation and maintenance.

Thanks for the reply and I agree, there’s nothing out there like the Roomster, prices of cars are off the scale at the moment, it’s not rusty and I want to keep it in the road if I can but there has to be a limit. I’m going to go and have a chat with the guy in the garage and find out exactly what the 700 is made up of.

Hi folks, our beloved Roomster 1.2 Tsi 2012 with 155,000 miles apparently has two leaky fuel injectors and our friendly local garage said £700 to replace them and asked me not to bring it back for another MOT next year . I'm wondering whether it is worth fixing them, whether we try to do it ourselves or ask the garage. Anyone done it? Would it be mad to spend that much money on the old thing. Anyone got any wisdom? Thanks

We have had a Rooster for 12 years and would like to keep it going so I'm off to the Roomster section
