Hello Shan,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Are you sure it is a tappet ?

Not a blown head gasket ?

 

I  am trying to imagine how a broken tappet would produce the "white smoke".

White smoke is normally excessive steam due to a failed head gasket (or worse).

 

Check your oil cap for an emulsion with the engine not running.

 

Either way, you are still in need of a competent mechanic.

Any good mechanic around Bedfordshire 

You can try search for ITS Autos Milton Keynes, they are Toyota specialist and can work on Alphard.
