The curse of the injector has hit my caddy :(
Can anyone recommend best places to get one? Is it a case of get genuine part and pay the extra or are the cheaper aftermarket ones fine to use?

There isn’t that much price difference to be honest between a better quality aftermarket and genuine essentially you would save yourself £90 ish and may gamble on the quality! We had stock issues for aftermarket ones a month or so ago was quite difficult to source one, Don’t forget the stretch bolt that holds the clamp. Hope you get it fixed soon
