I think the odd wisp of white smoke in the winter is condensation.
.could be the same for your start up issues...
But not sure on your ticking over issue..

Boost leak? Shuddering could be a pipe popping off momentarily.

Is it a 150? Whats the mileage?

Have the cam and followers been replaced?

EDIT - any of these symptoms apply to you?

I would suspect an iffy injector. White smoke on a diesel usually means unburnt fuel. Either that or get a compression test done, smoke should disappear when engine hits temp.
