when left over night or all day at work on start up there is a cloud of blue smoke and then no more after that even thrashing thro gears there is no smoke.on tick over it is very slow to pick up on throttle,like a second or so.

You have two options

1) Rip the heads off and change the stem seals
2) Ignore it and just keep an eye on the oil level

I have the same car dude and mine was doing the same,i cleaned the breathers which were clogged up like a 60 aday smokers lungs and this cured the problem,worth a try first

2001 model - definately stem seals IMO. Will not affect engine power but smoke is annoying!
