TD5 Cold start issues

Might be worth checking the injector washers. CharlesY, Am I right in saying that under certain conditions a failed injector washer can cause that noise?

Yes, I think it can, by letting raw fuel drip into a cylinder, thus raising the compression lots, that makes the bad noise then the excess fuel burns off and makes a heap of smoke.

Worth thinking about.

ok the indy garage have said 1 or 2 of the injectors has failed. they recommend taking them all out and sending them off for testing. I think though i may just replace 1 and see what happens(looks like inj3+4) than replace another if it needs it.
I will keep you all updated.

ok, car in local garage on diagnostic machine when all of a suddne she revs her tits off and goes bang. Anyone want any TD5 bits?

I've had this problem with starting the td5 over night, changed the MAF sensor £20 from scrap yard - starts first time after leaving over night now. Also increased the engine power as it was running in limp mode.
