Thanks for the advice mate.

-Will definitely check IP Timing first.
-Will change fuel filter - got 2 new spares with the car when I bought it.

-How can I check cam timing? Was changed less than 2 years ago.
-What would I need to do a compression check? I have a compression tester which I regularly use on my petrol cars, but obviously not suitable for a Diesel.

-You mention using a fuel additive - is this to give everything a good clean out? What should I use? I've heard of using Techron (?) and ATF fluid to give injectors a clean - any thoughts?

I can get the Monark nozzles (DN0SD273) for £13.65 each - does that sound a fair price? I'll check how much a local place will cost to rebuild injectors with them and set the pop pressures.

At the moment I'm getting about 29mpg (UK gallons) normal driving - slightly heavy foot and ZF slush-box, which seems a little low.
