Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I have recently started having problems trying to start my car first time in the morning, It will turn and turn for around 30 seconds before firing up with lots of white smoke .Once the car has been started in the morning it will start first time for the rest of the day with no problems. I had new glow plugs put in but still had the same problem. Can anyone help?

Take it there is no coolant loss ?
White Smoke
When there is white smoke emmiting from your exhaust it usually means that the diesel fuel that is being injected into your cylinders is not burning correctly.
Below are some ideas of what is causing your white smoke:-
* Engine Compression low
* Petrol contamination or Water contamination in your diesel fuel
* Pump Timing or Engine Timing out
* Fuel starvation to the pump causing your fuel pumps timing to operate incorrectly

Possibly fuel run back ,this can be over come by fitting a hand primer or one way valves onto the fuel lines ,it,s the injectors that cause this and engine oil mixes with the fuel and it kicks out white smoke,just sounds like your issue.
