Festive greetings to all I'm new to this but could do with some help I've not long had my 2005 rrs when I leave my car running for a while on pull off I get quit a lot of white smoke for about 1 min or so and a fuel smell on tick over is this common fault  Nice to be important but important to be Nice

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Where is the smoke coming from? The exhaust pipes or the front of the car?

Have you only noticed this happening recently - when the weather has been colder?

It's only coming from the exhaust sir and only seems to do it when the car has been left on tick over for a few minits I'm new to the rrs drive but I'm real fretted over things running right on my cars and do pamper them lol  Nice to be important but important to be Nice

Sorry no it does it what ever the weather Nice to be important but important to be Nice

White smoke/ steam is moisture. Where that comes from is the issue. In current warm climate it shouldn't really do this unless it is getting water/ coolant in the combustion. If you are not loosing coolant then it's climate induced. If you are having to top up coolant then a coolant system pressure check might be in order. Also check the oil filler cap for signs of creamy coloured sludge, another indication that coolant and oil are meeting. As for the smell of fuel at idle, have not come across this but my experience of petrol sports is limited to loan cars from dealers when mine has been in for repair. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
