i say this as when i removed the injector power plugs whilst running there was little if any difference.
i have changed number 2 and 4 injectors froma set that i ahd on a spare engine and it hasent made any difference. there are no fault lights on the dashboard ,
starting from cold is very difficult / once warmed up its easier but obviously mega lack of power
any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in antisipation

If you slacken off the injector pipe say 1/4 of a turn when running you should see diesel coming out beneath the nut, and if it is and you've changed the injectors then I would suggest that 1; the replacement injectors are faulty, 2; valve clearance is wrong, 3; timing is wrong. They are what I'd look at (FOR A START)

Word of warning about removing injector wiring plugs on a common rail diesel when running could be bad... real bad.
If the injector stays open when you remove it and the spray blasts in it can put a hole in the piston so be real careful with this one.
Bear in mind these common rail pressures are about 20 odd thousand psi so be careful even when slackening the pipes as the pressure's are around 4 to 5 times higher than a traditional diesel.
