are you sure it the injector and not just the more common leak off pipes if leak off pipes these can be changed very easily and only costs £6-7 from any good factors
if the injector itself there are several companies not sure in your area  have a look in yellow pages for bosch injection or lucas

hi there welcome to the forum
its most likely to be the leak off pipes best to replace the lot get a kit from motor factors.
easy fix tools you need long nose pliers and a knife.
what part of the country are you in.

as others have said check the leak off pipes first, i had the same problem a couple of weeks ago but mine was the no4 injector so had fun finding one, try cleaning it up in situ then run the car & see where exactly the leak is coming from, it might only be the copper washer on the seating that needs changing,,,,good luck :y

Correct, 'cos No.4 incorporates the 'start of injection' sensor.
