Time to join the AA or RAC then! Doubt if anything we could suggest would provide a quick fix!
Does sound as if either a sensor has dropped off or something has stopped working causing a misfire, which on a diesel tends to be a major timing issue.

sounds like a pipe has popped off  :undecided:

the black smoke would indicate a boost leak along with the bunny hopping - had it happen to me when my intercooler pipe came off but the car didn't try to stall  :undecided:

have you looked under the bonnet for any obvious signs of something missing?
