Might be worth getting the injectors checked. Have you checked the air side? Filter and hoses? Tappets all good?

If none of that, idle dropping is often a sign of a knackered injector pump.

Yes all valves working clearance spot on air cleaner and pipes good , it does seem like injector compression good I have owned many Landy diesels in 30 years and although power wise there not very good this is the most gutless one o have ever drive so maybe pump is worn !!

Tired pump and unserviced injectors knock the stuffing out of old diesel performance!

Reduced idle, power loss, and leaks, would warn of a pump at the end of its lifespan, I fear!
