hi have had injectors checked and specialist said they were ok so could it be that washers were missing on two of them . would it make that much difference not having the copper seals on

Yes as you'll get blow by on the injectors. As each cylinder fires the gases will try to escape past the injectors making a chuffing type noise that can be mistaken for knocking. You can usually feel the gases escaping past the injectors with your hand though.

Did you get any further with this? does it drive ok? is it ok on fuel economy? from what I read 40 to 50+ mpg is considered normal, Im no mechanic but im wondering if perhaps its just noisy and theres not really anything wrong with it? having said that I hate it if one of my cars dosnt sound right, have you tried listening to the engine with a stethoscope? you can get cheap ones off ebay or use an extension bar :)
