Don't know whether I can be of any help, but have you had a compression test done. Could it be a stuck valve?

You state that it starts easily and does not smoke. Does it run roughly from start, or does it develop the rough running after startup?

Hi i too have a 02 plate ulysee also running on 3 cylinders but do have a cloud of smoke when driving and starting up help really needed thanks xx.

Mojo if no smoke etc i would go for diesel filter or contaminated fuel. If a injector was completly gone it would smoke and smell of diesel. Stuck or burnt out valve is poss butwould normally smoke a compression test could find that.

Leakylou is yours a petrol or diesel (jtd) and what colour smoke white blue grey or dark black clouds????

 

[leakylou]

its a diesel and has no power when accelerating, but when i put my foot right down a burst of power comes and so does large cloud of black smoke !!!!

leakyLou sounds more like a turbo related problem than injector related issue.
