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

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.
