Tdv6 2.7 lumpy running first start Injectors or glow plugs

So i have an issue of lumpy/ misfire when starting engine for first start of the day or when sat for a good few hours lasts a few minuites
I just put an ohm meter across the 6 glow plugs and i got 2 ohms on 1 plug and sky high readings on the other 5, i figure i have 5 duff plugs.
I also put a clamp meter round the 2 glow plug looms going to each bank and only got about 9 amps in total
Would this be enough to give misfire symptoms for a few minutes until warm i read somewhere that the glow plugs stay energized a while after the engine has started.
Ive also done a fuel balance reading when the engines up to temp and they read
Injector 1 1.01k
Injector 2 0.94k
Injector 3 0.91k
Injector 4 0.91k
Injector 5 1.26k
Injector 6 0.91k

Any advice or info would be appreciated cheers

I think any common rail injector in a light high speed diesel that makes it past 100k is doing well.
I have a nearly new (less than 5k) spare in my garage if you are interested?

Dont forget cylinder number and injector numbers are different.

I will have to dig them out for a look see.

As yours is an 06 same as mine, fitment should not be an issue.
