All's well that ends well!!!
New (5 recon) injectors fitted and she runs as sweet as a nut. The difference is truly amazing..... it is like a different engine .... absolutely silent and it has not even been coded yet! needless to say I am delighted.
Even from cold it is as quiet as a mouse and there is no diesel clatter. It runs and pulls a LOT better and is as smooth as silk. It is transformed.
So the lesson is that injectors will still work for many hundreds of thousands of miles but they do start to deteriorate after about 100K. I paid about £100 and odd each (I think!) for the recon injectors from Diesel injectors, diesel engine problems, united diesel uk who were truly fabulous. The guy there knows what he is talking about and was very helpful and approachable. I think he has been at the injector game for a lifetime... does not seem to be much he does not know about diesels! I rang him a few times for advice and the phone was always answered promptly and he always had time to listen and offer sound advice. The injectors arrived when he said they would and the copper washers and O rings were already fitted - even had rubber grease on the O rings ready for install and the new codes were neatly printed on the instruction sheet. All in all I cannot fault the service - they remind me of how businesses used to be when I was a lad ie they give a damn about their customers!
I shall take it to be coded up tomorrow and I may ask them to re-map it while I am there. I am beginning to like this vehicle.
Thanks to all that helped out.
