Blowing Black Smoke

Car has started very recently blowing out black smoke and need to accelerate hard to get the car going, eventually kicks in.

hasn't done this for long time, recently serviced at 157,000.

It has had a new intercooler hose last year.

I only fill up with Shell or BP at worst.

What could be the problem?

Another split hose perhaps?

Fuel brand is not you problem as it all comes from the same depots to different branded outlets and is to the EU Spec.

Was the fuel filter and air filter renewed at service time?

Get an OBD reading of any fault codes for a start.

The problem is it's a 3 ton lump with the aerodynamics of a breeze block.

Nothing to worry about mines is similar,
Got silicon intercooler hose and disco Mikey serviced it in April and just over 100000 miles
Also had EGR's blanked and a remap, a few years ago
So what's wrong with mine as well?

Yep. Fuel, air and oil filters all changed annually.

I put a blue silicone hose on in 2012 but that split surprisingly last year.

That will be my next step.

this the second one in a short space of time, I think the one on now is still covered but will have to check with LRS on Monday.

If not intercooler hose, then most likely stuck/ failed egr's
