When stationary if reved a cloud of white smoke leaves the exhaust and smell's the inside of the car sometimes it gets a bit black but seems to disappear when driving. Nothing else seems affected, done a oil and filter change with a oil wash, but still have the problem. Is there a additive solution that can solve this or are we looking at something more costly?

Hi there!
It's very likely a valve stem seal that has split. This will allow oil into the cylinder from the crank gallery.
Off with it's head! I'm afraid.
The only other thing it can be is overfueling - but then it will be sputtering and lagging on acceleration.
You can check which cylinder is affected by removing the plugs and looking for the oily one. They will all need replacing really as it's false economy to do just 1. The seals are cheap. I would get a new cambelt fitted at the same time - as it has to come off anyway.
(If this leads to a solution, please take the time to rate as Fixya! - Thank you)

First Check the air filter to see if it needs replacing.

hardly likely the exhaust job would cause that, but yes it sounds like you got a blown head gasket. badl lock stricks hmm! also preasure test cylinder head for leaks
SOURCE: hi, what does it mean when huge amounts of white
if it has a turbo that is the problem,the turbo is damaged,otherwise the injection pump is overfueling
