My friend has a 1.4 puma. He was driving along yesterday and the engine stalled, and when he started it back up it run very lumpy and chucked out loads of grey/white smoke. What could cause this? I'm thinking head gaskit maybe, but havent had a look over the car at all yet.

Constantly running lumpy with excessive smoke

sounds like water getting in where it shouldn't be.
Either on the plugs or in the ignition chamber.
Also if it's running lumpy could be air getting in through a weathered/damaged hose or inlet manifold gasket etc. I guess the list could go on :(
