Hi,
I dont use the car alot as it is a second car. This might sound dumb,but when i drive the car after it has been sitting for a week, after start a bit of smoke black grey i know it is a diesel is this normal and also after i have been on the road to warm her up i put the foot down and as she pulls, lots of black smoke and a bit i white then it clears its self. i guess the car is clearing its self out turbo and so forth after sitting, would i be correct or can you advise.

On a little used car like yours it is hard to diagnose problems..if they exist.. a car sitting for long periods wil smoke until it warms up properly, if it is driven for around 4-5 miles it should begin to run normally, it is after that point that smoking and other issues would raise concerns.. if the car is driving well and no lack of power i would suggest you use an injector/ anti smoke additive and take the car for a good 20mile+ drive..

I think that it is as Xtractorfan,, the moist air hanging around could cause that
