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. In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

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'
