Hi all Ive got a 1.4 Zest and today its all of a sudden gone all wrong
Basically when it starts on the 3rd or 4th attempt its chucking out loads of white smoke and the engine sounds like its struggling, I drove it earlier and this is only happening in the lower gears once i get out of third it seems to be ok
No warning lights on but the exhaust is leaking a little. Anyone got any ideas what the hells happened? Thanks in advance

Have you checked the oil level with the dipstick?
I would be tempted to remove all 4 of the spark plugs & then try cranking it over.
Its sounds like its either seized or the cylinders are full of coolant.

This is what happens when you don't maintain and service your car regularly

I get the feeling its gonna be expensive, head gasket at least or more likely another lump needed.

could be low battery , check all your levels, and get a mate with jump leads to help jump it.
