go to your ECU (under the RH seat), pull the red plug off (As this is the engine plug, the black one goes to the dashboard area) and look for oil staining.

Here's a write up on how to change it, and what to look for

burnit out and claim the insurance or fit a V8....

Hi Bloat, this with your other post leads me to think something has come loose after that service. If it's running rough that means a problem with either the air intake system or fuel delivery. Did you change the fuel filter as well?

Hi could check harness for the injectors as suggested. I had an injector fail (comes on suddenly) ran rough when power on but the engine felt smooth when used as engine brake eg slowing down.I put a second hand injector in and had it calibrated no problems since also put in new improved harness that runs under the rocker cover. If you do put another injector in make sure you write the code no. down so that they can programme it properly. Also a quick diagnostic chek will tell if all injectors are ok.

Any news on the Landy Bloat?

yes , sorry havnt replied for a while , been combining finallly !! shes all well n good now turned out to be injector washers . so nice n cheap n easy to fix , thank god !! now back to farming !!!
