Lexus Is220D Smelly White/grey Smoke And Failing To Start.

Hi,

I have a 2007 Lexus is220d.

18 months ago I had a replacement head gasket and 3 weeks later the egr cooler blew up costing £1500.

Since then the car has run really well until about 2 weeks ago when I started to see lots of white smoke behind me.

This continued even when the engine was hot.

Today, I noticed it was hard to start, seemed to have no power from the Battery, but I got it going and went to work.

Tonight, after work the car was making a clicking noise when I tried to start it. All the lights lit up, ie dash headlights etc. But it just wouldn't start.

Tried to jump start it, but nothing except clicking noises.

I eventually got it started by using a heavy duty jump starter from work, but the engine died after about 2 minutes. So tried again. This worked and I left it running unitl it was hot.

I got home followed by lots of smoke, which smells quite badly.

No engine warning lights have come on, the oil is full and the water in the coolant is half way between high and low....

Any ideas?
