Morning,

The only thing that stops a Diesel from starting in the morning is the Glow Plugs, they may look fine but they may not be getting up to full temp to heat the combustion chamber.
 
I have just had to change them on a friends van that had the same problem.
 
The white smoke is from unburnt diesel.
 
I would change the Glow plugs and that should put an end to your starting problem.
 
All the best.
