last sunday i bought a 75 diesel top spec auto saloon, my friend followed me home and told me that when i was going uphill or with the engine under load black smoke was being blown out of the exhaust. now the guy i bought it off told me he had changed the egr valve and he shown me the old one.
ive only bought the car because my old car (peugeot 405 estate td) just wasn't up to the job. can anyone give me any suggestions as to what the problem could be. im hoping to get to the north west meeting in cheshire and perhaps somebody could give me a few suggestions/tips etc.

ps ive fell in love with the car, its a 2002 118K on the clock

thanks dennis
