It used to be it's now in a skip awaiting scrap!
Diesels ignite there fuel under high compression after an initial heat source. A dodgy or weak plug won't ignite the fuel till it's got heat so Un burnt fuel is the white smoke. I found that 2 non working plugs causes havoc!
My old bosche'd xud did this when glow plugs were failing which then lead me to doing the above guide.
I looked into doing the Bosch conversion on my nad berlingo but it's different bracket and cambelt setup on them just easier to buy a Dt lump and drop that in
I have the same problem with my DT, new Bosch plugs and the problem is still there - to me it's feels/sounds like the cold start isn't kicking in straight away, after a while mines fine
the smokey old bus that sounds like a tractor...
