    Been posting alot on this issue and it gets resoved but a new problem pops up.
    But for those of you who havnt seen my posts ile tell you whats been happening

    Bought car from garage drove around for 4-6Months with no thermostat
    Car overheated light came on pulled over let car cool down and went home
    New thermostat few leaks around the housing and pipes
    Went scrappy got a used housing now sorted no leaks

    Car now runs fine heats up normally to around half of temp guage
    When in traffic goes to just over half fan comes on cools car down
    Heater vents blow out warm air
    Old coolant i taken out looked clean no oily mixture
    No mayo substance around oil cap or dipstick
    No Misfires
    No loss of power

    But now white smoke/steam i have no idea which one comes out from exhuast for about 20seconds on start up but then after that the car runs fine. Also only started happening since i put my second hand ashley back box on.

    Doesnt seem like headgasket i dont think?
    Could it just be water in the backbox as it did get abit wet when i bought it ?
