Hi guys,

I've noticed when I start the car in the morning, i'm seeing light blue puff of smoke being released. Very stinky too  :puke: :puke:

Car starts on first click everytime. Is this just the cold weather?

If it only does it on a cold engine for a couple of seconds then it's completely normal.  Being 'compression ignition' diesels take a couple of turns to fire so you get unburned/part burned fuel out the back.
