White Smoke was created by Lowrider
Hoping to get some advice. I have a 2001 Suzuki Jimny that is blowing out lots of white smoke. If I leave it to run for 15 minutes until the engine warms up it still smokes and also with the heater on full there is no heat coming through inside the cabin. The radiator was replaced as it was overheating but this hasn't cured the problem. I can't see any milky residue in the oil. Is the head gasket gone or could it be something less serious. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like the head gasket has failed and water is getting into the cylinders.

Unfortunately once a jimny overheats then it's time for a head gasket.

Anyone know how much it would be to replace a head gasket at a garage in the UK?

I paid about 650 about 2 year ago with a known local whom does my serious jobs. All things being equal I might expect half as much again as he can basically charge whatever he feels like now as everyone is booked out round here.
