   If cylinders are your concern look up wet/dry compression testing.
   If your concerned with injectors a leak back test would show you exactly.
   
   Both are diy able with a some research and a little help from your friends here

   white smoke that lingers bad
   That sounds like unburnt diesel rather than oil

White smoke is generally unburnt diesel passing through the system or coolant (not oil) entering a cylinder or the condensation in the exhaust produced by the normal combustion of diesel or petrol. Burning a gallon of either produces as a byproduct a great deal of water.
The last is especially common on vehicles that only do short journeys & also the reason that those which only do short journeys go through exhausts faster than those used for longer journeys as the exhaust doesn't get hot enough to boil it off. Esp noticeable in cold weather. Mayo in the oil filler cap is also common on them.

Oil being burnt is normally blue. Are you using unusual quantities of oil?

Injector leak off test would be my starting point.

Oil is ok and coolant is ok just lots of white smoke and I mean lots I live on a small road and I can go round it and catch up with the smoke and it smells it's like a cloud or some one has done a wheelspin or burnout

I have pics and vids but dont no how to put them up

Ok can not get the vid up but it's the same coming out of the oil cap aswell

If there is as much smoke as there appears to be in that photo, I would suggest you have an injector problem.
Is it firing on all cylinders?

Stings your eyes?
and:
?

Ok so 1 yes its firing on evry one now
The vid is the same as what my car is doing the same thing

Take it to be looked at whenever you can. Internet diagnosis doesn't guarantee a result... A second opinion in the flesh could be your best result...
We can give you pointers my friend but not direct answers.. As much as we would like too....

I no mate that's what I am trying so I am looking in to new copper WASHEs and seales

If the injectors are farting while the engine is running it'll be copper washers, normally as a garage I'd recommend that all the injectors are rebuilt or replaced as they all end up failing. A leak off test will tell you if you have parts jammed in injectors but is not a conclusive test and sometimes having them pulled out and tested can reveal other issues.
Question... Do these have to be programmed when replaced???

No but I have had a friend put his snap on diagnostic scanner one and do full reset for me

A full reset won't tell you if there is problems with individual injectors. Hopefully that might help you. Good luck

Thanks have just found that the clip that holds the injector down has snap in half as well so have ordered a fitting kit and a new one to so this may be the problem but I will now need to what and see but will keep everyone up to date as I can not see this being the problem but let's hope

If the retaining clip is in half then surely you will be loosing compression on that cylinder so you will have unburnt diesel.

I have lots of white smoke from exhaust and oil cap so if I take the oil cap off I get the engine stroke with smoke

Broken piston rings, compression test required. Spraying in the WD 40 could have caused that.
