Why do you think you need these? To replace damaged ones or just faulty ones? Faulty ones (most are to some degree) can be rebuilt for £10 each, and should be as a matter of course before fitting, along with the existing ones they are being mixed with.

Should I rebuild them or buy new?
Rebuild sounds better but there 24 years old and
The rebuilding will be hard and break when doing so
Or will they be fine?
All build up fine and all

If they are physically broken, get a couple of second hand ones off of here, take out the remaining ones from your engine, then look in our traders' section for 'injectortune'. Send them all off to him, and they should come back as new, with identical flow rates.
Best bhp/mpg investment per £ you will ever make on your car.

How much will it cost to get the injectors done so I get best bhp/mpg?
Just a rough estimate

If it's just the fragile (yellow?) cap that's damaged then you could still use them. Don't know how you'd manage to damage the rest of it, they are very tough in my experience.
