My controll box for the glow plugs is fried so i have to start the car by hotwiring the glow plugs to the battery.

Car fires up fine then it missfires loads and i get LOADS of white smoke with a blue tint to it, one the cars been driven 50 yards it's all fine,

What doesw white smoke mean? is it just unburnt fuel, I know the blue is oil but I think it's just from the breather

oil is blue, white is a water. Get a mixture of both and start looking for a new engine usually.
