Right sorry lads need your help, ive searched the forums for ages but couldnt find exactly what it was.....

The other day I was driving for about 10 mins, 3 mins into my journey had to crawl through about 4inches deep of water doing about 5mph, 7 mins into the journey heavily put my foot down while pulling out of a junction, to to where i needed to be and left the car on, was sitting there for about 2 mins at a minimum then a considerable amount of smoke was coming out the exhaust, turned the car off, let it cool down a bit, turned it back on for about a min and no smoke?????

i read up on here and just put it down to water,

earlier today had a good 20 min drive then while i was sitting cooling the car down had been sitting there about 3 mins, and it started again????

ive been told could be piston or rings .. any ideas???

good chance youve pulled water into the engine, i would get a compression and leak down test done.
