Ok, this is buggin the s**t outta me and i cant work it out. When i do a cold start the engine idle is really rough and if i rev it for approx. 5sec it idles normally but today it done the same thing and blew a whole heap of white smoke. I fanged er round the block and the white smoke stopped, my boss reckons its just condensation but i can justify that for this ammount of smoke.

I have changed the oil and fuel filter 2 days ago. maybe this will having something to do with something.

white smoke, might be steam, your boss may right, condensation, water, or coolant! oh dear!

yep condesation it is. found out the hard way when i coped hydraulic lock to the max had the car to work and will be pulling the head off it tommorow. god i hope i havnt bent a rod. all i know is that as it stands now its ceased.
