That looks like steam when it's cold, rather than smoke. Quite normal.

Ok
After garage had another look at engine clatter,
They adjusted the valve clearance.

Sounds better now?

Did they have the car overnight in order to do the clearances?

They had the car 3 days and 3 nights when they did the clearance.

Now garage say the SHOULD sound like that.
Another mechanic say thats normal - and that i should be worried when there is NO sound as the valves will be too tight...

I know nothing to be honest - lol

Seems iffy

if there's no noise then the distance must be optimum.
