For the power loss/black smoke the first thing to try is to put some decent fuel in (Shell V Power/BP Ultimate diesel etc) and drive it hard for a few days. Try some longer trips and hard acceleration through the rev range to get the car nice and hot. Hopefully this should "clear it out".

When does the PND123 show up? Only when starting?
