mq patrol struggling

My mq patrol appears to be running 5 out of 6 cylinders atm. I am not hearing any loud banging noises or anything like that, she just appears to lack a bit of power. What can be done to fix this? If the 6th cylinder is rooted, is there a way of fixing it without having to replace the whole motor? All help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Tom.

its a diesel mate. I did go through some water and she was fine before, but it doesnt sound like its shagged and its just the one cylinder. Can that be fixed without having to replace the motor?

it runs fine but just lacks power. Some times the 6th cylinder will fire but majority of the time it won't.

try a little bit of atf in the fuel, works great as injector cleaner, only abou 1 litre to a full tank, old truckies trick.
it might just be a dead injector or something

Injector or injection pump can be dead.
