I've ran a half-tank of diesel through with a bottle of diesel injector cleaner and replaced the air filter. This has made a difference but it still smokes a bit, Mainly on pulling away or, as Dew says, when booting it. I'm gonna check the valve clearances and diaphragm tonight when I get home. Gonna be a busy night as I'm also stripping the axle down! Wish me luck!

i'd say take it to a diesel specialist and get it looked at after you've checked all the easy bits.

also, check the hoses between the turbo and the manifold
if they are split it'll cause a drop in power and black smoke

(sorry if someone has mentioned that already)

Nope. Good one. Another easy check!

Cheers.
