Hi Patrick,
A shot in the dark here, forgetting about your codes for a moment, has the vehicle had a new aux drive belt recently? we have seen a few of these engines with the camshaft pulley locating peg sheared when part of a failed aux belt has got tangled up in the timing case, everything looks ok externally until you start to dismantle a bit.
Regards, Phil.

Hi Patrick,
Think I would be checking the egr solenoid, see perhaps if the end hasn't fallen off !!

Other than a code read, have you done any testing Frank?

hi dave
have checked injector returns, no1 is returning more than the others but i don't think that it is enough to cause code 778 have tried to get more information from local sources but to no avail yet

Right lads here is the result.

I took some advise from my local diesel specialists, that was take the injectors out and lets have a look, so i did, they were all knackered,and there was metal filings in them, you know where i'm going yep the whole system is shot

Metal filings everywhere, don't know why i didn't think of that before. The upshot of it is the vehicle is a financial write off, and according to the specialists these engines suffer from this problem, a shame, but there we go.

Thank you for your thoughts, and i hope that this helps one of you in the future
