blown turbo

Could it not just be condensation and from sitting for a while not being used much?

doesn't white smoke mean you're running rich?

White = water = more likey head gasket that turbo I'd have thought

Or, being more optimistic, may just have been a lot of condensation from sitting for a while as Pukka said. Check for mayo in the rad cap and maybe do a compression test.

no mayo around the oil cap as that was the first thing i checked before buying the car i think it might be as pukka said condensation will let you know as soon as its a hectic month

Have you done anything to the engine since you have bought the car?
