Re: White Smoke
There have been reports of a blown head gasket in the UK but that is usually coupled with overheating. If your engine is overheating then that could well be the head gasket.

Re: White Smoke
White smoke is caused by coolant or water coming out the tail pipe. This is normal when first started.
All cars omit steam from the exhaust pipe when the car is cold. Then as it warms the steam dissipates and can't be seen.
If white smoke continues you have an internal coolant leak, i.e., cracked head/blown head gasket.
