Thanks for all the advice and links, and you'll be pleased to know... I ignored it.
Got myself a VW Jetta 2.0 tdi se. On a 07 plate with 65K on the clock. 6 speed with all mod cons. Very comfortable to drive, picks up nicely and handles the ground better than a Mondeo imo. Took it for a 30 minute test run around Preston and was getting between 44-46 mpg. Drove it home down the M6, and got a very satisfying 67.6mpg.

Congratulations. Now get on the phone to VW customer service and ask if your engine is subject to the Siemens piezo injector pump campaign

Returning home, a journey I regularly undertake, I noticed a marked improvement in performance, zero smoke even when booting it and fuel economy also seems to have improved slightly.

No, hence my suggestion you phone VW and give them your chassis number

I dare say so, I'm not the only one affected mate
