Changed the fuel filter and made no difference.
Engine getting more lumpy now.
Sent injectors to be reconditioned, will this help?
Well got the injectors reconditioned.
Put them in the weekend. Couldn't find the washers that go on the end of the injector so put the new ones in anyway. Could I have put the new ones over the old ones accidentally? Couldn't find them to take em out of the head. Will this cause a great issue? Have heard of this being done with no ill affect.
Started it up and it wouldn't tick over smoothly. had to press the accelerator to make it smooth. But then something not quite right. Took it for a spin and it has not allot of power but the tick over got worse. Car shaking all over the place.
Black smoke coming out the exhaust but not that much really. And only when revved up.
What shall I do next?? anyone? Please?
Thanks for that I'll take another look down the injector hole.
I couldn't make out if there was one there or not. It was a flat ridge. Not dimpled like the new washers. Tried to poke around down there but nothing came loose. Didn't take much notice of the injectors before they were reconditioned to see if they were on the end of them.
Will check the other bits you suggested.
Anyone got some Sun? It's blooming cold out there!
Well I've done most things on the old chap including stripping the gearbox but as for how to fix an engine you're right, I'm completely inexperienced.
I'd love to get stuck in but i have the age old problem of time. I have none!
Could this problem have stemmed from when I drove it into some deep water:

But the old chap drove for nearly a year after with no problems.
I'll check the valve clearances and take it from there.
Thanks folks!
