My car is dead
Today I was driving and there was a slight hesitation and loss of power and a second later the power came back with a big puff of black smoke.... I thought it might be the egr playing up a bit but an hour late I lost all acceleration and had to pull in , now my car won't accelerate and even if I get it to barely move it cuts out completely.... My injectors are bad too , all 4 could do with a change... Also when I put the accelerator down to take off I could hear a strange scrape type noise... Does anyone know how bad this problem is? Is it even worth fixing

i got a diagnostic test done and no fault codes came up.
I know they are bad because i had a leak test done and all of them failed pretty badly.
it looks like now i either get my injectors refurbished or ill have to get 4 brand new ones, the injectors are so bad now the car is undrivable. if i attempted to drive if it actually moved then a huge cloud of smoke comes out. this is from the unburnt diesel

This is what happened to me 5 days ago:
I was checking transmission fluid level (not a Jaguar) and heard scrape noise. I used my "X-ray superman vision" and decided that it was camshaft bearing going bad. ( V8 pushrod engine). I added 1 pint of ATF-3, noise stopped in 20 sec., I drove about 100 miles to wherever I was going and then changed oil. I believe oil delivery hole was clogged and ATF fixed it. I have to admit, oil was pretty dirty.
