Best put them in to be fair. Couple of quid. Could just be unburnt fuel on startup. You had new glow plugs recently? If not it could be pump needs advncing. Is it using water? Running on three all the time or just on start up?
Help us to help you more specific details.

the problems started after i filled 20 euro of fuel into her to get me through till payday last week the next morning on the way to work
the car felt off it was running rough slower than normal through the gears and at hills it died a death near had to push it up a few.
so my first toughts was washed or dirty fuel . i popped a bottle of injector cleaner and 50 euros worth of fresh fuel into it but so far
no improvment. it feel very like a petrol car with a bad plug lead ie stuttering and juckking
mabey the pump jumped a tooth im at a loss to know whats happening
@bash no new glowers and shes not useing water

Chuck a fuel filter on first. Could just be fuel starvation

aye.. filter, and then the advance plug on the pump...
fire seals are abotu 25-50p each over here.. i have an invoice for the copper rings and fire seals somewhere..
worth doing as it stops the full weight of the blast reaching the injector seat..

Fireseals can give you stick injectors if they're leaking/not there... youll get super heated gasses coming up the side of the nozzle which will cause various parts to expand/stick.
im sick of the pile of shite
