Smoking on start up

have you overfilled the oil?

either that or valve stem seals.

The white vapour is probably just water condensation in the exhaust boiling off at startup.

If it continues than it could be head gasket.

Time for another update

Had the injectors out yesterday and gave them a good scrub with a tooth brush and some fuel additive, they were pretty sooty on the tips but cleaned up well with some effort. Point being the smoking has diminished some more to the point now where its not really that bad so that will please the neighbours lol

A good result there now take it for a good thrash or i prefer " Italian tune up" and get it hot before you do and spank those revs up some and watch the crap blown out the tail pipe.

This you want to do often not every day.
