Piston rings buggered? what colours the smoke? IF its blue is burning oil. If white could be just cos its cold or if its excessive could be head gasket maybe?

i think its blue smoke = burning oil , and usually just happens when i rag the car hard i look back and see a big cloud of smoke fly out

Sounds not too good mate. Best take it to a good garage and ask for a quote. Then you get the problem diagnosed and it costs you nothing.
