Check your glow plugs for function. I have quite a bit of white smoke at smart and found two dead plugs.

As previous, glow plugs or could be injector leaking.

If it is literally a 'puff' then that's fine - its a characteristic of the engine, and indirect injection into the preheat chambers. If it puffs away for ages then that may need looking at.
Mine puffs white for about 2-3 seconds then is completely clear, some back smoke when accelerating hard but other than that should be clear - this indicates good fuel combustion.

Fuel filter is easy. Haynes manual describes what to do

Just did mine on the 110. Put a pan underneath it as it will spill Diesel everywhere as you undo it - or at least I did so. A cut-off gallon bottle would be good for this - leave the handle, stick it over the filter and drop the whole lot into the jug for transport to the workbench.
Pick out the O-rings, swap them out, fit the new cartridge and then use the fuel priming lever to fill the filter after undoing the hollow bolt holding the fuel return line. When Diesel comes out, tighten the hollow bolt and you should hopefully not have to bleed the pump - I didn't at least.
Not that hard, but a dirty job.

Yeah that's what I did, I didn't have to bleed either. It starts a bit rough first go but then is fine.
