hi i have a 2000 fiat bravo and im getting excessive white smoke when i pull away, has anyone any idea of what this could be and what to do to repair it?

If your moving away from cold it is probably the exhaust coming into contact with the cold air. It is common at this time of year as you see it on loads of cars.

Have the fluid levels changed since last week's check?

Cheers

Could be:
Condensation in your exhaust system, hot gasses and cold air make your tail pipe blow some white smoke [sometime at first start and rev you see a little water coming out of tail pipe] - normal in this weather.
OR
Head Gasket going, check your water, has it dropped, probally not a lot yet, so mark it and watch it, if you have access to a compresion tester, test it. - this could be a small head leak which forces water into cylinder on initial acceleration, which is then burnt = white smoke, if this is the reason you may get away with a coolant sealer for a while as water and cats don't really mix, but do beware if you sel it, it will not last and will fail big time when it goes, I did it, sealed for around 3 months the failed, which gave me water runing out of my exhaust when engine runing, I was trying to get in past the bad weather so I could repair it on my drive, left it to long.
OR
An outside guess, a lean mixture, perhaps an engine managment sensor not quite working fully. - this I rather doubt!
A generalisation of smoke.
White - Water or lean mixture
Black - Over rich mixture
Blue - oil
