Is it hard to start?

Were the injectors reconditioned or overhauled? The difference being that overhaul includes changing the control valve and nozzle, testing flow characteristics and re-assigning a new C2i code.

What was used to diagnose the injectors and what was it that pointed to them being the trouble?

one injectors was new and re coded in, his dianostic pc pointed to no1 injector water pump side fitted all injectors had them recoded in still same, runs on three with alot of blue/white smoke when revving will not go over 2000 revs seems to run on all four though, but still alot of smoke, dianostic guy saying he thinks engine piston damage

Number 1 is the gearbox end on this engine so the ijectors could be coded wrong.
