yup. really if the pipe isn't nice and solid you should use inserts/stiffeners.. but you'd get away with it if you don't overtighten the jubilees on the rubber hose

Quick update. Bypassed sedimeter and all was well for few days.now the problen is still here now.after being left overnight it struggles again. Got a 1 way filter to fit. Just where does that go. Between filter and fuel pump or filter and injection pump
.
Or is there anything else i can try

I think you have a dripping injector overnight. Hense loads of smoke on startup. Hence low fuel pressure as it's draining pipes, hence runs on 3 till reved, also will cause low compression on that cylinder as will wash away oil on piston rings. Does engine oil look thin and smell of diesel

you sure the starter is ok? is it turning over quick and strong?
if the grey smoke hanging around or does it go quickly?
you checked the leak off pipes?
if you crack the inj nuts when cold and crank, do you get a strong flow of derv? or does it get stronger after 20 secs?

It cranks over strong just doesnt fire straight away.
Changed leak off pipes over injectors.
The grey smoke only there for second whilst on 3 cylinders. Rev it 4th kicks in and no smoke then

Do i crack off all 4 injector nuts at once or 1 at a time over 4 days.

just do one. i'm trying to see if it's fuel leak back. if your fuel is draining back then it'll hardly put any out initially and then it'll get a good squirt coming out when it usually starts (20-30 secs you said?)
but if it's running on 3 for 5 mins until warmed up, then when the engine is running you could crack each nut one at a time and tighten it back up. if one of them doesn't make as much difference as the rest, then that injector is the iffy one.

i just meant. when cold crack one nut. have someone crank.
notice the amount of diesel coming out.. do you get stronger bursts after 20 secs (when it usually fires up).
that's it.
on a completely different test, when cold and running (firing on 3) crack one nut and see if it runs rougher. if not, tighten up and then do the next. but so only one if cracked at a time.
if one doesn't seem to change the engine, that's the iffy one.
