Now THAT is a good question, since I sold my TD5 i've fallen behind in that area, I bought mine from rovacraft in WA I think.
Perhaps someone else on the forum will be able to let you visit them, and read your codes for you....I would ask in the "diagnostics" area of the forum...
In my experience with my car, I founs a lot of oil sitting in the sockets on the actual injectors, si I cleaned thm nicely with metho....

Cheers,

I wouldn't discount an actual injector fault, either with the firing coil (Electrical) or a mechanical failure. What you have done has been correct, you seem to have eliminated all causes of misfiring bar one, which is the best way to do it.

Ebay sometimes has individual or complete sets of TD5 injectors for good $$. You will need to see if yours are EU3 (2001/2 onwards Green top) or EU2,( 1999 to mid 2001 Black top).

You will need a nanocom or similar to detect which one it is and to program the trim code into the ECU, new orings and copper sealing washers.

I was in Darwin last week with the Nano for a mates D2.
Thoroughly check the looms for chafing and earth point cleanliness and security.
I'll be back in January with the Nano. Give a yell if not sorted.
