It sounds like your diagnosis is correct. All you have to do now is find where the air is getting in. Time to start checking the connections.

This was exactly the same as ours. Turned out to be the injector washers and o rings. Not too bad to do but I did not have the time so a local garage did a very good job on it.
Get the oil and filters changed as well as you will find that there is diesel in the oil. Also get it done sooner rather than later as ours ended up cutting out every couple of miles before we found the solution.

Hope this helps

hi checked oil this morning no diesel in oil ????

There may be very little in the oil.
As I say sounds like you are in the 'early' stages of this (if this is your problem) as you will end up with VERY difficult starting and then cutting out.
