whitish smoke?

Anyone else have this...i noticed today when starting and stopping there was a little more than the usual whitish smoke coming from the tailpipes.

Even when I stopped the car you could see both pipes looking like a smoking gun.

No warning lights on or anything just wondered it was a little unusual. Range Rover SC 35th Anniversary 2006

Caused by the cold damp mornings, nothing to worry about. Very Happy

If it's burning oil, you'll smell it. It's likely to be water vapour from the exhaust, mine does it too, and it goes on for long time in this weather.

Don't worry about it, unless you start to smell burnt oil! Thumbs Up Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!

If it is cooling fluid (blown head gasket or cracked cylinder) it usually has a quite distinct smell as well, you can smell the glycol in it. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
