Secondly what happened was driving in 407 no motor way all going fine when suddenly car flash's depollution system failure and cuts out on me. No power at all and now in hard shoulder and car wont start for me. Any guess's. Oh yeah just as this was happening the car expelled a huge cloud of black smoke from exhaust. altogether failured

    DPF (Diesel Partuclate Filter) failure more than likely. This is going to be expensive I'm afraid - if it is that.
    Sorry I cn't help you with the recovery.

    TBh I don't know, but I think Peugeot were qouting someone on here reciently about €700 ~ or there abouts. There is a fluid that has to be topped up and a filter that has to be cleaned/changed too.
    Not just any fluid and filter mind you. The parts are very expensive and it is labour intensive.

    What engine have you got 1.6 or 2.0 hdi...??
    what mileage is on the car..??

    The dpf's usally needs replacement around 100k and as cadaliac said the eloys additive will also need topping up at around the same time.

    With what you've describe above it sounds like turbo failure..egr related..
    but if its not starting it does'nt look to good...:(

    Common problem on the 1.6 hdi's...seals are cheap but the injector(s)
    will have to come out...also where the injector seal seats onto the head may
    need reseating...Hope thats all thats wrong....;)
    I can't see injector seals putting out black smoke tho...
