w reg clio diesel smokes badly lose s power , but if stood and run its fine?? have cleaned breathers out ok changed oil etc if its stood you can rev it hard no smoke ,,, take it on run and by half mile its smoking like mad and lost all power????????????
I can't see it being an injector problem, or rocker gasket, rather the turbo isn't doing what its supposed to do. The amount of smoke points me in that direction, otherwise I could have suggested fuel or air starvation.

Didn't realise your car has a turbo mate - if so, then its worth taking those pipes off at the intercooler to see if they are full of oil...which they could well be! Removing the air pipes just ensures they aren't collapsing or have some sort of internal obstruction.

Disconnect the large air pipes from the air filter to the inlet manifold, and try again!
