[QUOTE="tytower, post: 814337, member: 2399"] I would put an each way bet on the injectors also. What often happens with diesels is they get tired and like old men start to dribble the fuel out rather than atomise it like teenagers. So, is it hard to start when cold? When the motor is hot you won't notice much difference except consumption. The fix for this is new needles and seats and is usually only $100 per cylinder or so plus labour . The injector is pulled apart and a new needle and seat fitted.Its a quick job. Another consideration is friction at the wheels , like a sticking hand brake or disks not able to turn freely. Check the hand temperature of each wheel hub after say 10 minutes of travel. A sticking one will be hot and binding. Tyre pressure too but not so much unless they are really flat. See the tyre placard on the drivers door, or the manual for the right setting . If you have recently put a large tradesmans toolbox in the back it might feel like a 1/2 ton of cement bags. [/QUOTE]
