white smoke usually is fuel or head gasget (when cars cold take you coolant bottle top off fill it brimming full with water n start the car get sum1 to watch the level if it takes a gulp of water or you get big bubbles comin through im afraid its the head gasget mate )

Nah dont think it was skimmed. Temperature is fine, takes a while to heat up and never gets high. Checked earlier after about 30mins of driving and most was gone but takes ages to go......could it just be the weather?
