Thanks for the fast replies guys
To answer a few questions
When i changed the oil recently i cleaned out the charge air pipe and it only had the lightest film of oil on it so would doubt that was the problem but yes certainly could be.
I havent changed the fuel filter for around 5000 miles so perhaps that could do with a change.
I cant see any smoke during the day so i dont think its that bad but it just looked quite alot last night, as in i would have a truck behind me with their powerful lights and when i floored it up to 80-90mph to get away from them i would see what looked like a pretty big loud come out and it didnt decrease throughout the journey which i thought was odd, as i was trying to blow the crap out of the system as i drive the car really,really carefully normally.
I always use sainsburys fuel
So this diesel magic, when change the fuel filter i fill the new filter with it and then let it burn, should i have very low fuel in the car at the time so the concentration of the stuff is high and also what about small amounts of acetone, ive heard this cleans out the system and injectors etc
thanks again

As said in my earlier post, this may be your problem.
Try at least new fuel filter, filled with diesel magic, that's after you've used up all of that Sainsburys fuel.
See if it cleans things up.
If you haven't taken the fuel filter off before I find it easier to take the whole thing off with mounting bracket. It's easier this way to get the top collar to seat properly.
Once you've got it back together filled with the magic stuff (from Halfords £5.99) start car and give it some revs.
I filled up on two occasions with Sainsburys city diesel, never again, it smoked like hell.
I always find Asda diesel ok for me, or Tesco if you must use a supermarket fuel.
