Try some diesel injector cleaner - lots of choice in Halfords, might stop the smoking as well with a bit of luck. In my case I also had some contamination (water) in the fuel causing this 'misfire' finally completely cured by another additive - Wynns Dry Fuel , again from Halfords. Good luck

Why would you fit a Hot Fix to cure cold starting. Check your glow plugs. Check ECU temp sensor.

Remove the hot start fix and see if the problem goes away. Then as Wammers said sort the glowplugs out to fix the cold start problem.

Could be the lower pressure pump in the tank
Does it do it when on low fuel?
