Misdiagnosed Fault

[M@tt 77]

basically my MG ZT CDTI has been in the gargae for a while now after it refused to start. wpould run but wouldn't start.

 

Initially i thought it was injectors leaking back (similar symptom to when 2 of them leaked previously) but did a test and all appeared fine- no leakback at all. Was a bit stumped so sent it to garage to be put on the machine to be checked. Machine didn't really show anything but they "thought" it was injectors so sent them off for testing. Testing place surprise surprise said oh yes they all need refurbing so i've just coughed up £450 for 4 refurbed injectors only for the garage to tell me that it hasn't cured the problem. It still wont satrt!

 

Obvioulsy i'm not very happy about this!!! basically the garage has guessed, the diesel place has clearly said oh yeah these all want doing, the garage is still none the wiser about why it wont start and i'm £450 out of pocket!!

 

Clearly the diesel place aren't going to take the injecotrs back, assuming they are my actual ones that have been refurbed, rather than replaced by some others off the shelf and mine to be refurbed at a later point for onward sale to someone else.

 

any ideas/suggestions about what i can do absoute some recompense towards this unecessary fix??
