Injector cleaner

Do the injectors need cleaning? Engine does not start on the first click of the ignition key. Rough idle at start A bit more engine vibration than before MOT man says there is diesel in the exhaust I tried Wynn's injector cleaner cleaner, (£6 from Halfords) despite very mixed reviews and advice. Added to 60l of Deisel so it took a  while to work through. Conclusions: No immediate effect (hardly surprising) Starts immediately now smooth idle at start So a success? Or should I take the injectors out..... .... ?
