Hi
I drove my car 10 miles to the next town and realised that the heater was on cold so slid the lever over to Hot and put blower on. The car filled with either smoke of steam not sure which.
I pulled over and checked under bonnet rad n water level fine oil fine no apparent leaks when I turned lever back to cold it stopped and has not done it again since this morning.
Any ideas please guys

Was there any smell? if not then it probably wasn't any form of smoke. Keep a close eye on your water level in case you have a slight leak in the heater matrix. If neither of these then, as johnd says above, probably some form of condensation. If your water level stays ok and it doesn't do it again, I wouldn't worry about it!
