2,0 ford mondeo ztec s 2003 - glow plug light flashing and exhaust giving black - b1lly

i puirchased this car a few weeks ago from a trader and when i drove it on the motorway for the fisrt time and wanted to check it out i noticed that the glow plug light started flashing. when i stop the car the glow plug light goes off and agian when i accelerate it comes back on flashing. another thing is that the exhaust gives out black smoke and the car sounds like a nd feels like it has got a cough when changing gears. if anyone could help then let me know what this could be. thanks

As its an easy job start by removing the EGR valve and see how bunged up it is.
