Minimal smoke when starting from cold but when restarting whilst engine is warm/hot, a load of light coloured smoke billows out after which it smokes like I do ..... passively.
Not sure if the smoke is white or blueish, why only do it under these conditions and should I be concerned?
TXD smokes on warm startup

My guess is that it doesn't leap into life on all 4 cylinders - which sugests air in the fuel.
Alternatives may be that it needs heating.
If you have a Bosch pump check the leakoff pipes - if its a Roto-diesel - bad leakoff pipes will make it leak and smell but won't affect anything else.
How old are the injectors - could be they need overhauling/replacing?

Mmm, it starts straight off and runs smoothly but now that you mention it there is sometimes a diesel fuel odour around but no visible sign of a leak. Also if unused for a few days I have to prime it. I have no idea of the age and condition of the injectors but it has a recent mot so assume emmisions within limit.
