there is a hissing noise when i accelerate and the car does not run properly. in the past it does give out black smoke when accelerating and the oil light comes on very infrequently when travelling at low speeds in 4th gear.

might be a dodgy oil pressure switch and as for the hissing you might have a split in the turbo pipe. just try running your hand around the whole turbo pipe to check for splits and to see if it is loose anywhere, if you cant find anything then you might have to take it to a mechanic

it could be that your turbo is on its way out????
