i did clean out the harness the other week, I've never had one been affected by oil before so wasn't sure of the symptoms. Ill crack open the eco tomorrow and have a look.

The usual symptoms for the injector loom beginning to fail are rough running, odd engine behaviour, misfiring, poor starting or oil traces in the red plug on the ECU. Those fault indicators often appear long before any faults get logged.
This bloke has done the job and documented it very well. It might be worth taking a look:-

Aside from the 2003 td5 disco that i have that won't start, the mrs 2004 td5 is giving jip.

Started on tuesday morning, got in it to go to work, started up fine, went 50m with it having a terrible idle, never had any issues with it before with this.

Seems like its got plenty of pull for a few seconds then feels like it goes into limp mode, stop, let it idle and it'll do the same.

drove it a few miles wondering what it was then thought i should turn around, it conked out on a junction. Did restart again. But the same issue, and with diesel smoke when sat at idle.

Ive just plugged a nano com into it and when first started the injector readings are ok... within tolerance at least. However, take it for 100m up the road and its readings are +40 +46 etc on multiple injectors and its knocking its tits off.

Fuel pump is working (i can hear it) but not sure if its ok of course. The noise does seem to have changed a little from normal though. Starts instantly, no great gurgly noises. But does feel like a fuelling issue.

All the other readings on the nano com look ok.

Any thoughts?

Ive ordered a new fuel filter (in case its something as simple as that) as to be fair we got it at christmas and i haven't serviced it.
