hi, this video shows the knocking sound that my Land Rover 2.25 diesel has. I am pretty sure its a diesel knock from an injector, however I don't know wether it could be bottom end? or even a hot spot? anyone know what this is? I am leaning towards a bad injector because when cold it likes to miss and puff smoke on one cylinder.
any help appreciated,

thanks.

Series 3 - Land Rover series 3 knock

hi, I have a series 3 2.25 diesel that has a slight miss when cold and a constant knocking sound. when started cold, the engine seems to be missing or poorly firing on one cylinder. it sends a shake through the cabin and a puff of smoke from the exhaust. after about a minute this stops. however...

Did you check the heater plugs and test by slacking off injector nuts

yes, all working fine. does it sound like diesel knock to you?
 
It would be better if the vid was under bonnet , what happened when you slacked off each injector nut in turn when it’s running
 
When I did mine when I had diesel knock when you slackened the faulty one it still ran whereas on the good ones. It stalled. I also disconnected suspect injector swung the pipe round so you could see spray pattern and it was more like a single jet than a spray

I will get a video from inside the bonnet later. when I slackened off the injectors it wouldn't stay running, and would stall.

Slackened them one at a time rather than all together?

It should still run, albeit not well, with only one injector slackened at a time.
