Hi everyone

My 2003 Freelander 1 with a TD4 engine is producing some nasty smelling exhaust emissions, (not a typical diesel smell), misfires slightly when not under load, (30MPH on the flat) and occasionally plumes black smoke but stamping on the throttle a few times stops the smoke.

I'm thinking a faulty injector but would welcome any advice from someone who knows more, and that wouldn't be hard.
 
A sticking EGR valve is more likely, when thick black smoke is produced.
