There are a couple of posts on here about split inter-cooler hoses, might be worth checking as well. Common one to check is the hose under the throttle body.

Well after a couple of months of not using supermarket fuels the black smoke disappeared completely. I started using BP ultimate diesel ( or what ever its called) and normal BP Diesel.

You would think so but I know for a fact that Morrisons add a percentage of biofuel to their diesel which might explain the poor burn you were getting. Jaguar used to warn diesel owners not to use biofuel in their engines so you may be on the right track there No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

I have always used supermarket fuels with no issues, but when I got rid of my FL2 in the summer and bought a Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 Cdti 163 I noticed my local shell garage was the same price as Asda so put a tank full of standard shell diesel in

I've always been of the view that "supermarket fuel" is a bit of a misnomer. There's no Tesco refinery; they buy it wholesale and quite often it just depends where the fuel is refined that can impact quality. Obviously there are special blends for certain customers but the fuel will meet certain minimum standards. What can make the difference is the cleanliness of the tanks and delivery lines and even how often they are filled (and hence stir up the crud at the bottom of the tank).

Westville - all diesel has to have a percentage of biofuel by law. Morrisons had (and may still have, I don't have one nearby) a pump with a higher percentage of bio. It had warning stickers all over it. I happily used it in my TD5 but would hesitate in the FR. They also sell "normal" fuel which will have the normal percentage of bio.
