can you run the engine with one coilpack removed? for a safe casual distance so as to reach a garage?
if so , should the injector be in place and working to cool the cylinder anyway?
remove the injector plug so it don't wash the oil off the piston, how far has it got to go, remember jas having to drive home on 4 cylinders from one of the shows.

You CANNOT remove an injector from the fuel rail. That woulD leave a large hole through which fuel/petrol/gasoline/benzene would shoot out at at least 4 Bar onto the hot engine. VERY BAD AND DANGEROUS ADVICE.
What you CAN do is LEAVE THE INJECTOR IN PLACE and disconnect the electric connection from the harness to the injector in question. This will shut off the injector and stop it from spraying fuel into the non-igniting cylinder and washing the oil off the cylinder walls.

In all honesty Dave i think he would of meant take plug off.....cant see him tell someone to take off fuel rail to pop off one injector and watch the petrol piss out the open hole ..can you

This is how people die. Somebody tells them something, but they really meant something else. What he said was:

The English language can be precise. If he MEANT remove the injector electrical connector, he needed to say that.
so it is safe to drive like that for that amount of distance?
No it's not completely safe. But it's safe enough - it will not kill healthy otherwise engine. Excessive (and prolonged) vibrations due to non working cylinder can make a lot of things in engine compartment, like loosening not very tight bolts, killing engine mounts, etc. However with injector plug removed cylinder will be just a compressor which will make ECU think, that you are running really lean. So it will take _loads_ of fuel for those 600km, I think something about 20+ liters/100km on cruising.
Maybe you need to disconnect lambda probe either ?
As for valves - I don't think you need to worry about. They will have proper lubrication, and will be running 5 times cooler cylinder chamber than they do normally.

Oh and yes safe to run till he gets to garage
If I was going to say to him to remove the injector i'd have told him what he'd need to do to remove the injector, still i've changed the original post to add in the word I missed out.
actually it is the cylinder number 3 and the vibrations are not so strong!
I run the car on VEMS and it goes with the wideband EGO correction. Would it be better to run it with the lambda correction off or not? i can programme it to correct by a smaller bit so it will not be much richer than normal!
