Hi Gareth and Thank you for your reply its much appreciated.
I know very little about cars but from reading up about similar issues believed the injectors could be an issue.
I really dont want to ask or think about the gost of sorting thos or I probably wont sleep tonight.
The garage was a german specialist garage marketed as maindealer service but without the hefty charges, they came through recommendation from a few family members and seem to be a decent outfit.
It seems they just carried out a computer diagnostic and the glowpkug fault wouldnt clear but also said they were in bad condition so recommended changibg them although they did say it would unlikely stop the smoke.
They said it had performed a DPF regen in the last 500 miles and possibly this was why it was smoking but would it perform a regen pretty much ecerytime the car is driven?
Also sorry to go on but do you think addibg some injector cleaner might help or am I wasting my time with that?
Thanks again Gareth, I appreciate the response.
Dave
