Have you checked the gauze filter on the fuel pipe going into the injection pump ?

Just flagging this up again - not fixed yet.

The mechanics are saying "if an injector is leaking, then it would run rough ALL of the time because the bad one is throwing a bad spray pattern"

Tomorrow am I'm going to start it - fresh in the morning - in front of the guy from the garage to show him whats going on.

Is there any milage in what they're saying? would be great if I could be armed with some reasoning to counter/agree with that statement.

I think the engine gets hot enough to overcome the bad spray OR it might be running bad, I just can't tell! It's a leggy old diesel, not exactly a BM straight 6. :-)
