Can you check the boost pressure, rail pressure, airflow etc via Lexia & see if anything looks odd?

Just an update all lexia readings where fine apart from 3 things going invalid value for the EGR when revved so I put a cleaner through the air system and the smoke has halved and the van is running better but not great so would you agree that it points to the EGR valve been faulty even though there are no fault codes popping up for it

If I were you I would clean the EGR before buying a new one. They are rather expensive and it is a hit and miss with these. It might be full of carbon (likely, but depends on the mileage) and stuck on the open position, hence potentially you could get constant flow of air that does not have very much oxygen in it. The ECU though should report this as an error, so that is a bit weird that you do not have a fault recorded.
My replacement one was Hella and I am pretty happy with it, no errors and working flowlessly for ~3 years now.
