Yep. Be prepared to hear the words
'well we changed the injector but the connector pipe broke as it was seized so we have ordered another one'
'oh there is a fuel leak now so we have ordered a few more bits'
'hello sir yes its all fixed you can come and get it'
Then a few days later another one will go  Try and persuade them to check the other injectors whilst its on the diagnostic machine.  For use of a 4x4 site and driver training pm me

Hi All,
When I had my vehicle in for some work on the fuel tank (these coilers have very poor ground clearance! ) the dealer identified that the injectors were slightly out of spec and changed them. I hadn't noticed any change, but I hadn't had the car for long at that stage.
They also noticed that I had no brake lights . They traced the fault to the brake switch & replaced that as well.
( to Trivetts at Parramatta (Sydney for you OS types) 
Best Wishes,
Peter

This is what you need to do to the tank guard. There are a few more pictures in my gallery called 'The Red Pearl'
