hi I use a thermopure as well and have got a few ? for you
1. does it start or fire up first turn of the switch as mine wont in fact it took 6 tries to get it going today as is worst when its cold, when its going its fine all good but in the morning its a bitch to get going we were just if you have had any grief with yours. the smoke lasts for 2/3 Min's before its clears and is so embarrassing as it fills the whole street coz the exhaust fills with unused diesel.
2. have you fitted a thermostatic valve or controller to regulate the temp or do you use it just hot ?? Edd

Edd, on really cold mornings, I sometimes have to start mine up twice because the first time it starts up for half a minute, cuts out, big puff of smoke, then shuts off. It's a pain in the *** for two minutes, but less hassle than using cold with heaters in the van, loading everything back in from the house, etc in the mornings.

When i go hot i think i`m going the gas route,flick a button away you go.

Praying now that it does not damage the system. Have got it wrapped in a quilt & sleeping blanket at the mo... :-\

Hi V8edd,
I must say I have never had this problem. However, my van is parked overnight in a garage that gets a some residual heat from the house, so it never gets really cold. Why don't you give ionic a call? When I first started I had tons of questions (mainly about general window cleaning stuff), I was never off the phone to them and they always managed to help me. Is your thermopure still under warranty?

PS I dont have a thermostat valve, I just use it as is.
