Corolla 2.0D Diesel Engine Concern!!

Corolla 2.0D Diesel Engine Concern!!

AoA members
I am the owner of a 2006 Toyota Corolla and this vehicle has power, which is decreased during the last few months. This car has run over 170,000 km and it is well maintained there is no black smoke and it is half self start and there is no issue of leaks and oil decreasing in this car.
It did not create problems while driving in the city and when I go out of the city, especially in the hilly areas, I felt some problems in it as it does not cross the limit of 120 kmh. The fuel economy is not good as it consumes a lot of diesel and it feels bumpy, which it is accelerated on the low pedal.
The engine of this car is still in good condition as I did not take the help of local mechanics and the maintenance of the car is up to date. The car pick-up and fuel consumption are a little bit bothersome for me.
I took great care of my car and I got it checked by different mechanics and they revealed that the diesel injectors need service. On the service of the injectors, total expenses are incurred at about PKR 6000. I took my car to another mechanic and he said that the car did not need any injector service as it starts smoothly but he asked me to swap the clutch plates.
Please suggest to me what should I do as I do not think that my car needs any new clutch/pressure plate o r the diesel injectors became bad and need service o r this car needs recalibration to the diesel pump.

There is a guy in the township of Lahore Asif Shah, who is a decent guy and runs his own diesel laboratory, he told me not to mess around with the engine o r the diesel pump since it runs flawlessly. He told me for my own satisfaction just get the nozzle replaced with the Denso ones o r get the clutch/pressure plate replaced.

I went ahead and replaced the nozzle with brand new ones, It runs the same so that leaves me with bad clutch/pressure plates, The current ODO meter reading is 178,000kms and the vehicle is running on factory-installed clutch plates.

The clutch does not slip so Ill have to wait and see how long the original factory-installed clutch plates last on my vehicle, Other than decreased top speed and fuel average, the car does not have any other issues.
