2000 Vauxhall Zafira the dreaded white smoke!

Car: Vauxhall Zafira
Year: 2000
Categories: Engine & Drivetrain
Car has 110,000 miles on the clock! Changed thermostat when heating failed. Now have white smoke even when car is up to temp. But, no water shows on the dipstick and the miles per gallon is averaging around 28 / 29. What could it be other than the head gasket?

i think you really need to get a head gasket test done first to eliminate that
