Assuming the smoke was an acute problem and none of the breather pipes are broken here's what I think. I'd guess this is a Mark 1 model with 50K or more on the clock. The fan motor has probably failed due to wear in the brushes/commutator. The smoke was likely to be its death throes.
The usual solution is a new fan motor (expensive), or a Kenlowe replacement fan system (less expensive). You could try the rewiring dodge to get the fan going on two speeds instead of three, but I suspect the motor's beyond recovery frankly.

Try: http://www.kenlowe.co.uk/
I understand Rimmers or Xpart were selling them when the OEMs were in short supply.
