Bought this car from car auctions two days ago running lovely but when we checked at home it needed an oil change. My father has always dealt with cars so he changed the oil but when he started the zafira it is now blowing out excessive white smoke any ideas or help please

Sounds like a blown head gasket, is it low on coolant? get this checked first.
