ok start with the basics
1) replace fuel filter
2) replace air filter
3) run a bottle of redline 85 in the tank when you fill up
4) get mechanic to clean strainer in pump for you-may be the likely culprit
5) If none of the above arrange to get injectors checked. If ur in south the guys on vistabella hill do a good job.
6) Glow plugh fuse located in fuse box in engine bay close to the battery

usually when idiling and u get a puff of smoke it could be valve seals, leaking oil into the chamber....or worst case u have a cracked head, its a common problem with WL engines..the water mixes with the fuel...http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_can_caus ... he_exhaust
