Took her to my local garage and thankfully just needed a new engine breather filter and new air filter seems to have cured the problem many thanks to all

Jeff I got her booked in for Friday will post the verdict many thanks

Many thanks .

From cold start apart from norm white smoke she seems to be fine nothing excessive then randomly she will blow white for a couple of minutes even when warm driving or idling in traffic quite bizzare. I have no warning lights and temp gauge norm as greydog suggested could a dirty fuel filter be a culprit and again I ask the question would a dose of redex help ?? shes done 115K which is nothing really, I am not being a tight ##### just askin if any of you guys have had a similar problem I am new to X5 allways had 3 series with no major probs,

Many thanks for advice ,shes not had a service in the last 12 months from what I gather so maybe , I have looked elsewhere and gathered that fuel additives ie redex diesel can clear blockages but this is white smoke not blue or black smoke so I understand white smoke is a coolant issue ?

Hi I recently bought my dream car a 2004 X5 3.0l sport diesel which I loooooooooove however a few minor problems which I can live with til I get them fixed or replaced £££££££ ,Ok heres where I need advice shes done 115k engine purrs however I keep getting a lot of white smoke from the exhaust which doesn't effect performance but it is really embarrasin . Doesn't happen all the time and only lasts for 5-10 mins then it seems to clear, is it a common problem??

Any Ideas or Suggestions ?????
