Thanks again mate.
You suspect fuel. Another mechanic tells me if it is fuel it should be black or dark smoke and not white. Somehow I think white smoke is possible. Please enlighten me on this if you can.
The cooler of the coolant is clear as water. No change of colour.
Clamping the fuel line sounds like a great solution. Will google it to see if can do it myself after a journey. Disconnecting the battery should be easier although for the xc90 its behind and under the back seats.
