2004 Ford Focus C-Max cabin smells of diesel/exhaust gases

Car: Ford Focus C-Max
Year: 2004
Variant: 1.6 tdci
Categories: Leaks & Noises
when driving the cabin fills with the smell of diesel/exhaust, cant see any smoke inside but it`s so bad i daren`t take the kids in the car. was wondering if this is a common fault? it has done 95,000 miles, seems to run ok but smokes a bit when accelerating hard. injector seals and leak off pipe were replaced 3000 miles ago. exhaust doesn`t appear to be leaking.

replace the cabin filter and have the car inspected by a garage as this is dangerous for you to check all engine breathers as if there blocked could be a reason as to why your getting these smells in the car
