Update: My independent garage in Inverness had no difficulty in sourcing the fuel injector - with both new and reconditioned available. (He recommended that I get a reconditioned one.)
So I got back to the main dealer in Perth who quoted me £290 to fit the part. That seemed pretty expensive to me, and someone in the business told me it was ridiculous, so it was decided that I would get the train to Perth on 28th April and drive the car up to Inverness and have the car fitted by my usual garage.
Picking up car was fine. I was told by the garage that the chap who was working on diagnosing the fault had spent about 6 hours on the job. I drove the car up to Inverness - about 100 miles - taking it carefully (under 2200 revs) and the car behaved absolutely normally. I took it to the garage, and my mechanic took it out for a quick run taking it up to 4000 revs, and he couldn't get the engine warning light to go on. He was fairly busy, so I took the car home and brought it back the following morning. On the drive in, I did get it up to 3000 revs, and about 10 minutes later, going down a fairly steep hill, the engine warning light went on and the car went into limp mode. So I pulled off the road and stopped the engine, and restarted it, and drove it (carefully) into Inverness so that it didn't go back into limp mode, but at least the engine warning light was on so that the garage could check it - which I was told was helpful.
Anyway, the injector was replaced (for a lot less than £290!) and I took the car home. It has behaved fine until yesterday, when I was going down a hill, and the engine warning light went on. The vehicle did not, however, go into limp mode (at least I don't think it did; I drove it so gently that it might just be possible that it was in limp mode, but I didn't notice - but I doubt it).
I did three further journeys yesterday, and the warning light remained on, but the car drove fine.
Here is the slightly weird thing. I didn't mention it in my initial post in this thread, but the first two times the engine warning light went on (on the 15th and on the 27th March), I was going downhill at the time. I suspected then that it was a coincidence. I'm not so sure now.
