poor running tdci

Hi has any one had this sort of problem , when I start and leave to idle the engine will run fine and then it nearly stalls then picks up again and also when driving I can hear what sounds like injector knock at a certain throttle position then If I ease of I get what sounds like air blowing out of say the manifold [ its hard to describe ] , Twice ive had to restart the engine due to it losing power when first started when cold, This seems to clear it . There are no warning or fault lights on and I only run it on shell optimax , drained filter for water all ok . I am looking at tacking it to adventure 4x4 in morley has anyone any experience of these ..

cheers Daz

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 CSW Bonatti Grey

Guess VCV based on 2007 from your profile.
Replaced 3 on 2008-2007 cars all around the 100k km mark with similar symptoms.

I reckon change the fuel filter, not just drain it. Down here LR Aus specify a new filter every 60k, so they must have been just draining it all the times i though i was getting a newy. It got to the point the car would stall when cold, idle poorly but run fine when hot. A new filter made it all the differance and appears to have spared me from the vgv valve damage complaint.
I think the rattle/ knock thing is a normal thing. Mine makes various degrees of knock at various volumes, at various speeds. Around 60klm is its clangiest. I just turn up the stereo.
It still idles with small audiable variations in reves which i thought it never should, but it always has and is too minor to chase. My Defender and travels
