The car perfoms well with the new injector (and before actually). There has been no attemp to re-map, although I have considred it. Car has run faultlessly for the 5 and a half years I have owned it from new. I have just completed a 125 mile trip this morning and it ran great. Switched off and tried to re-start all the errors again. The probelm does seem to be connected with the engine being hot.

You are right ,main dealer would have been more expensive,but a good dealer wouldnt hand you the car back with the same error codes it went in with!I say this because you had the injector replaced and the error code is still there and without or with new injector,engine performance is flawless,which suggests the old injector was still fine but yet they still made a decision to replace it.How did they diagnose a fault in that specific injector?At the dealer we cant charge clients for replacing parts that were not faulty in the first place and obviously didnt resolve the issue.
Why do you say the problem seems to be connected to engine being hot?You car performs fine,right!Its just the error codes.Do they error codes only come up when the engine is warmed up?In any case ,the best thing in my opinion ,would be to have the car properly diagnosed by a dealer (for example,BmwGloucester only charge 1/4 hour for Diag),maybe they will register some other error codes and reflash +update your ecu sotware.
