   Don't know if there are many Saxo D's out there, but the exhaust looks like it vents all over the rear bumper. Wash car, bumper is red, do a few miles, the back corner is black...
   
   Normal? Or has someone been a biff and used the wrong back box?

   Does the back box look like it's been changed?
   Older diesels do smoke like a chimney, especially if you've adjusted the fuel pump mixture 🖒

   Sounds like it's chucking unburnt fuel out, maybe somebody was trying to make it into a Rolling Coal machine

   The back box looks pretty new. It doesn't smoke like that, but I'm loving the 65mpg!!! Proper cheap motoring!

   The dervs use the backbox that have the tailpipe pointing downwards.

   Give it a double measure of Millers ecomax diesel.
