Right guys, I have changed all glow plugs and still the same. I have narrowed it down to cylinder number 1 by unplugging the injector leads one by one. When I did all others the was a very noticeable difference but when I unplugged number 1 there was no difference.
I have Listened to the injectors and I can hear them all ticking very clearly.
So I'm thinking its something to do with the coils or leads. Is there any way to test the coils separately . its the stupid 1 coil each sparkplug I think and has that stupid metal part all across the plugs.

Swap the coils between 1 and 2, start up and remove the plug off of coil two. If theres no difference, you need a new coil. If theres no difference when you take coil 1 off, you have a issue else where

I'm guessing it hasn't got individual coil packs, and it's just one unit?

Right so cleared codes and they haven't come back. Swapped injectors around but still when I unplug injector 1 the engine doesn't change but when I unplug any other injector there is a dramatic change. Checked coil and there is spark on every plug. Changed plugs. I'm not 100% it's misfiring because it doesn't sound too bad now, baring in mind there is a loud exhaust on. But it must be if there's no difference when I unplug number 1 injector, correct? Any ideas at all?
