As above, since i've started looking I keep hearing about the problems with fueling and injectors and it's putting me off. How bad are they and what causes them to fail? For example any relation to the mileage covered? Will be gateful for any advice.

 

hi mate, another must make sure clutch is all good no nasty rattles etc !
as its a dual mass flywheel very expensive job

 

Lots of help here

No real issues mate... injectors aren't as common on the 2.2 engine as they are on the 2.0... have not had any problems with mine touch wood
