smokey disco

I have a 96 discovery, which seems to be very healthy as far as how it
drives,accelerates,idles,etc. The diesel economy seems excellent.
My only issue is that it seem to be very smokey on startup and under
heavy acceleration. The startup smoke is almost embarassing when in a
packed underground carpark. I understand that the engine has 190000
on the clock, but has been well maintained. Do I have a problem worth
fixing, or am I being overly fussy considering its age.
Can I fix it easily, or is it an expensive ordeal

I would appreciate your input

Service the injectors and maybe even the pump. Check the turbo boost
pressure. Set the pump timing, and then if it still smokes after all
this, close the max fuel screw a bit.
