Sorry to dig this up again! But im having EXACTLY the same problems!
My car is only smokey when its cold (expected - damp etc) Coolant bottle and cap are fine and theres no horrible gunk in the coolant bottle! And its just been serviced so the oil will look fresh so havent checkd that but was fine last time i checkd it over christmas!! I Did have this problem temparyly fixed i went in to the garage i use after work and they said they think that was the part they replaced, but wernt 100% as it was about 6-7 months and had no record (as i pay cash for my jobs
) I remember at MOT time that the mot.er noticed a drip from near the gear box? As a few of you may know my car is on air ride, am i liklely to have damaged it again when dropping the car??
Please help me out im worried my head gasket is on the way out! So am having a "compression test" next week! Coolants quite expensive when your buying it all the time and im having to constantly carry a little supply in my boot!
