Update: Okay, so was at the Opel main dealers servicing depot today for an inspection on the car and most things looking good and thankfully after a pressure test there is no leaks in the coolant system so the head gasket is all good. Phew! Seems though that I have ignition coils on the way out so will need to be replaced along with spark plugs. 486e they quoted lol :D Well I know I can get the coil pack for about 200 and spark plugs are about 60 for the set so. 226e for a 30 minute job Opel? No chance. Will be taking other avenues for that but I must say was great service and the examination and information given was tip top otherwise and inexpensive at 50e for a whole check up and pressure test to put my mind at ease. Its worth noting on my original post that a bad ignition coil could on occasion cause a little extra smoking/vapor to come in bursts from the tailpipe or run a little rich. Hopefully if anyone else is having this type of issue this has helped in some way.
