Parents are thinking of getting a modern common rail diesel. But their mechanic has told them that things like fuel pumps and injectors are super expensive and can fail due to the high pressures that theu work under.

Of course, any component of an engine can fail but are these modern diesels unreliable compared to petrol engines or is it all talk?
