to be inspected:

- glow plugs, as the first thing;

- engine air filter;

- EGR to be opened and cleaned;

- MAF sensor

check and revert / Igor

Replaced the fuel filter ? Any codes, the SCV is common fail point

idles and won't rev - a blocked exhaust/ collapsed cat given its age drop the exhaust at the 2nd joint aka centre section

I removed the injectors wiped up with carb cleaner then cracked of the 14 mm nozzle end removed pins and springs use carb cleaner and a diy fitting to go in the nozzle and blasted through until all 6 pin holes were spraying mist re asembeled and now I've ended up spending 80 in the injector specialist shop getting them tested and all came back 100 % much to my surprise and I've checked exhaust and svc, Maf, a few other things aswell

Have you reinstalled them in the correct order they were taken out in? It’s an obvious question as the injector compensation values would need inputting if you got them the ring way round.
