Sounds like poor compression. Using easy start for prolonged periods is not good as it washes the cylinder bores removing lubrication. The problem just gets worse the more you use it. You need to get each cylinder compression tested.

When was the last time the diesel filter was changed?
After that it's down to live data code reading,to be specific.what's is your fuel pressure.
Can be a bit of a problem these,by far the best route is a good code read and full live data.
You can get into deep water changing parts at random,seventy pounds or so to Vaux will save you time and money.
I've seen these with over a K spent to no good effect at repair before I got to them and found the fault.
You really need the right diagnostic software.
