Lot of Smoke on start up?

(1/3) > >>

Fireyred:
My 90 runs like a dream and is a real joy to drive, however, on start up she kicks out rather a lot of smoke which i think may be a bad thing and am worried, what with it being due an MOT next month. :shock:

Any idea's what might be causing it, other than its age? :?

Cheers.

Tinks:
Not sure what would be causing it but i do know that before they do an emissions test in an MOT that they warm the engine up so don't worry about that as it should not be tested from cold start up!! :D

Fireyred:
Yes I was worried about that, what with the new tax on 4x4s there trying to bring in.
Was planning on taking for a good run before i took it in, as it dosent do it once it has been running for a while, and once stopped for an hour or so,if started again, it dosent do it then either.

Just when its been standing all night or all day at work. A big cloud of smoke.

Thanks.

Rich_P:
What engine?  What colour smoke?  White?  Or is it blue?

Fireyred:
Smoke is white with a small hint of gray.

Engine is 1989 2.5 Turbo Deisel.
