Get the injectors tested. Won't cost much - especially if you remove and refit them.

I have never noticed a significant difference in smoke or power in a diesel after replacing injectors.

I had the injectors done on a 200tdi with 280k.. It was like someone had added an extra cylinder.. Huge difference. I guess it was just wayy down on power before hand though. :/

Maybe tdis are the exception...

I have spoken to a land Rover mechanic and he has said "worn injectors"....
i think i will get them tested before i replace them.
Thanks guys for the advice

It's been reported here quite a few times of Tdi sets tested at 300,000km+ and being slotted straight back in.

Hopefully JC will chime in soon?

I spoke to the guys at "Triumph Rover Spares" in Adelaide. they advised me to back of the adjustment screw under the diaphragm on the fuel pump.
Hey Presto..... it worked.
they said i may notice it will loose a bit of power. i havn't noticed it !
Now i don't has the smoke screen behind me and i should notice my fuel bill goes down...
