ok, next check your heater plugs are working, next cheapest option to change...:)

ian_s:
changed them two weeks ago, made the engine much easier to start, but even with them working, the engine wont rev up for a few minutes

had an interesting experience when i went out for a drive at lunch time, i went to pull away from the roundabout outside work but i hadnt put it in gear, so the engine reved til it stutted, then when i let off the throttle i swear it backfired! i didnt think diesels did that!

zulublue:
Ian, I hope this does not sound patronising but you are doing exactly what I did when I had my problem, and yes it's always good to see if it's an easy Job, I.E. fuel, injectors etc, your symptoms are so close to what I had, I have got to say the head needs to come off, one to check the gasket and two to have the valves checked.

It might be worth having a compression check done first?

Here are the symptoms I had, I hope you recognise them because there is nothing worse than a not sure.

Loads of black / white mixed smoke on start up
Once run for 5 minutes it clears, sooner if driven
If I revved it when cold it cut out
There was a strage popping coming out of the exhaust

ian_s:
the heads coming off as soon as i dont it to get to work and back every day
