My Clio has loads of white smoke coming out of the zorst. I haven't run it for a few days when i took it for a 700 mile run.
Anyone got any ideas what it could be

If it was a turbo i'd say that it was turbo wear sounds like its burning oil.

No it's just a standard 1.4 8v with a K & N Air Filter and 2.5" Backbox.

I took it for a 20 min run and noticed all the smoked in the rear mirror.Paked it up on the drive and left it running for 30 mins and it's still coming out.
It was fine the other day though

White smoke equals water, generally the head gasket.

cheeky fucker 
you striopped some of it you werent strong enuff to undo the head bolts
