Been busy so only getting back to this now.
Its a '96
oil pressure looks normal
yes, it was working just fine (if a little down on power)
Battery charged and its starting normally (but still on 3 cylinders)
Will try opening injector lines to see which cylinder is the problem.
No significant oil level raise (although it hasn't run for long like this).
Will check glow plugs too.
Sorry, I was wrong.. the exhaust is more white than black.
Lots of blow-by though.. I'll check the rocker cover vent is clear too.
Thanks,
Steve
