White smoke is headgasket!

My 8v used to stink of petrol at the rear, did have a K&N cone fitted! Which I took off as it made the acceleration worse and way more thirsty!

Could be lambda probe no? Of its running rich? what sort of MPG is she giving?
Does it have a performance filter?

I'm trying to sell my 16v and getting no interest...it's sad now...if an older car needs tyres it almost not worth the money...I have a huge service history...what's the point when it's only worth peanuts?

Like I said before, I'm not a mechanic, I'm only going on what I've been told, I was told it was running rich and to clean out the air filter system. If its oil, air or whatever, I have no interest in fixing it because I have a new car and just want rid of it.
Suggesting that I'm trying to flog it deceitfully knowing it has a different problem is not particularly constructive.
