Tdci 2.4 white smoke on startup

My 2009 2.4 has had quite a lot of white smoke on startup, but as soon as you set off it disappears and there is no smoke once the engine is warmed up. The engine never runs hot, and the coolant levels are all correct. I was wondering if anyone knows the reason for the smoke on startup. Thanks

I stand to be corrected but I think its just part of the engine 'calibration' - presumably only happens when it cold ambient / weather?

When very cold, meaning minus 5°C or so, and when the truck is thoroughly cold, I have a puff of blue smoke at startup. Stays like that for 10-20 seconds while slowly backing out of the driveway, but thereafter it immediately disappears entirely. When temps are positive it does not happen at all. Presume also a normal occurrence?
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

My 2.4 is the same in very cold weather, I keep an eye on levels etc and it goes within a few mins.

Could be a lazy injector but I’m not going to worry about it. Ride like you stole it!!
If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do…
