    Well the replacement silent block arrived fitted and all is well but now i when i first start it i get quite a lot of white smoke after about 5 mins it seems to clear.I did try to upload a vid but it seems i cant on here

    It could be burning too much oil on start up or it could just been steam accumulating in the pipe. If it goes after 5 min l wouldn't be too concerned about it.

    Keep an eye on it. Might just be some residue thats been burned of.
