This vehicle has been round the block a few times.now it landing at my door. Original fault was smoking and rattling Had injectors tested no 3 had cracked body New one fitted .runs better but still smokes What somebody has noticed if you disconnect all injector wiring plugs and turn key it will run and tick over for hours..I thought it might be running on its own oil.but oil level is correct and isn't loosing any..have took injector out and notice a hole half way up injector hole in head as shown in picture.what is this hole for?

You should never unplug diesel injectors while the engine is running.

Hello Paul, my guess would be the hole is there as the “ leak off” channel.
