Engine idles roughly when warm

I need help guys:

I have a Gen3 3.2DiD GLS Auto with 195,000km. It runs great when it is cold, but when it heats up a bit in city traffic the engine begins to run roughly - uneven idle - and it shakes the vehicle lightly from side to side. I have added injector cleaner and I replaced the diesel filter but it still seems to happen on occasion.

Any advice?

Total reconditioned diesel pump
New injectors
Pump calibration
Dyna

Now we are up-and-running again! Ready for the next 200,000km.

Thanks Allan Black

Roelf,

It was approx. R26,000 with 1 year guarantee.

Do you also have a similar issue?
