Smokey Morning

[Ste]

My truck didnt start first time this morning, i was shocked and worried he he.
2nd attempt it fired up and filled the street with smoke but it carried on to be perfect all day.
BUT its had me thinking all day, what if somethings wrong so i just washed it and put it to bed.

Ok i get the bit about the Glowplugs but ive just seen the beast driven away to be cleaned inside ect and it looks real fab lol but changing from 1st to 2nd i noticed to much fumes. would that be just down to the glow plugs, its shortly going in for new clutch but only because of a slight oil leak (seal replacement). sos i just get worried with it being a 2nd Gen.

Sorry for the thread hijack but mine too smokes a fair bit at start up, I just put new Denso glow plugs in about a month back and changed all my filters and oil at the weekend. Should I prepare for a new head?
