75 CDTI engine problems

I really would like to get my 75 CDTI to run smoothly but it seems to be quite difficult. Do the following symptoms tell something to somebody more expert than myself?

- engine vibrates too much at idle even when warm
- fuel consumption is around 7 l/ 100 km at normal highway speed
- turbo seems to come along quite late
- engine feels a bit powerless especially when accelerating from a standstill
- in practice you can not use 6th gear below 60 km/h due to lack of torque
- heavyish buzzing sound from somewhere in the engineroom when driving and putting on power
- engine "rumbles" and vibrates slightly on highway when putting on power at speed (like the mountings were broken which they are not)
- fuel moisture at the bottom of cylinder one injector
- cleaned EGR and inlet manifold pressure sensor with no effect
- replaced MAF and air cleaner with no effect
- replaced fuel filter with no effect
- replaced engine temp sensor with no effect
- engine temp stays at "eight a'clock" except only when idling for a longer time e.g. in a traffic jam
- TOAF live data shows that injectors 1 and 3 are correcting flow values more than others when idling

There are no local Rover garages with analysers here anymore and others seem to be a bit reluctant to take my case. Rover really seems to be a dead and gone brand outside UK nowadays.
