Sounds like a leaking injector to me.

Fuel pooling in the cylinder when off would cause smoke and roughness until burned off.

Agree with Stoney wats ur mileage also might be worth checking glow plugs they could be gone as well an making symptoms worse

Mileage is only 48k so not done a million miles and I will check the glow plugs anything that can cure this will be good :)

Well they very easy to test but u are ment change every few years an don't think they the handiest to change so if u not stuck for cash I would replace could prevent further problems down the line

Update on this issue its not the injector it was sent off to a diesel injector specialist and they have said its working fine head is coming off as i write this!!
