Roy
Which dealer did you use?
Also - as I stated before - mine smoked on start up - especially when cold weather (white / grey) and also when I really booted it
Took it back to Williams x2 - no faults found
Adding 2T (1:200)to the fuel seems to have iradicated both?
D3 didnt smoke on start up - or if it did - small enough not to notice - did smoke on hard acceleration though

 Oh Dear, sorry to hear that
What's the dealer said? - I guess they didn't try it before you got it back?
It could be worse - you could be paying for all the parts they keep fitting

Roy - mine smoked on start up with BP ultimate - but the 2T seems to have stopped / reduced it - worth a punt

Have they checked the turbo oil pipe issue? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Mine smoked on start up - but nowhere near as much as in your photo
As I said before - at dealers twice with no faults found
Since adding Mineral 2T about 3 weeks ago, no smoke - which sort of validates my suspicion it was fueling related.
I would definatley try 2T - use ratio of 1:200 - I noticed difference after 2nd fill up
Good luck
Adam
