Their a tough bus mind you and the pumps are pretty strong too, my old pajero used the plugs to warm the engine up a bit after it had started but that shouldn't matter once it's running.

Best getting a derv specialist to look at it first,and it's not like you can't afford it working in Baku!!!

Sorry,on a serious note it really could be anything,leaky injector,crap fuel,poor seal somewhere,a bloody million things sadly.
