Smoking quite badly, anyone have any ideas?

[Luke...]

Have a clio 1.2 16v. Bought it in April but as I'm not old enough to drive yet, it sits a lot and it driven around the drive occasionally. Recently (in the past few weeks) it's starting to smoke a lot on start up and even worse when I move it around. It had a new aftermarket exhaust the other month, don't know if it's all the crap inside that still? But it also smells quite rich and am sure I'm putting more and more cans of fuel in more often.

anyone have any ideas?

cheers

Yeah.

Stop driving it until you can actually drive it more than 10 feet at a time :S Take the battery out and leave it alone. Starting it up does it no good what so ever. Leave it be.

What colour is the "smoke" ? Blue ? That'll be oil. White ? That'll be steam. Black ? Fuel..

I only drive it when I need to, it gets parked in between 2 other cars and I can't do anything to it until it's out. I drive it on occasion to stop things seizing up. Smoke is not white nor black it's in between. Tbh just Th colour it normally is just more pronounced. My dad's friend who has been a mechanic for years says due to the start ups and small drives ii could have made a sensor real dirty and in turn is telling it to put more fuel in
