I think it's highly unlikely that three injectors would fail simultaneously - as has been mentioned it's quite probably something else wrong, and the ecu is recording the symptom not the cause.

Re: My 1.6 NIGHTMARE!¬

My old man had a problem on his rover 45 a few months back, youd be driving along at say 30, then the car would lose power and you had to change down. You could be in 2nd with the pedal on the deck and do 10 mile an hour.

Man with computer thing told my old man that it was voltage leakage somewhere tricking the ECU into thinking the injectors where buggered- and was most likely a broken coil but he couldnt find it without the fault happening (it was totally random).

Rover had the car for 2 days and it was a dodgy oxygen sensor on the exhaust. When it shorted the ECU reported 2 injectors faulty. Et voila.

Three words though- Rover aint Cheap
