Last summer I had a slight misfire around 60mph on light throttle, which escalated to a shudder when manoeuvring at parking speeds.

What sort of job is it to do yourself?

The theory of it is straightforward. Good write up in the wiki.

I recently removed and replaced all injectors, took mt 2.5 hours tops taking my time. My injectors came out easily though.

I didn't even have to use service mode on the bonnet. |

It helps if numbers 5 or 6 are being stubborn.... otherwise there is a chance of making your head ache worse |

Thanks for the great advice ! I like the idea of sending them all off to be tested/cleaned etc. I'll see who I have locally to do that. The Fatty will be off the road for a while (if I ever get the flippin freelander running again) so I can take my time. I'll probably give the inlet manifold a thorough internal clean as well, and replace the thermostat at the same time. I'd like to do the glow plugs, but it seems like a lot of messing for little/no benefit. My fatty has started brilliantly all through the winter, even at -3, and its showing a glow plug fault on the IID. |

The glow plugs, can snap off if your unlucky and require surgery to remove them, just be careful. |

Yep would need to put in service position if it is stubborn, like the same engine used in a Beemer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK8MqxEeMJY or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwZOTf8vYhE |
