can your vans cope with snow ?

Phil if only happen on cold mornings is something to do with :
glow plugs
wirering
temp sensors
or leaking injectors ( park your van facing up hill and if it's stop then is your injectors seals if it stay the same look for something else )
also get winter tyres

misfire just like boilers , wrong amount of diesel in combustion chamber will also bring blue/white smoke ! And because is not constant fault will be just first thing in the morning ! Just like my VW transporter which had a faulty glow plug on cylinder 3 , so cold mornings I was getting little bit of difficult start up along with small cloud of blue/white smoke

if its air must sensor , then it will be black smoke at all the time

Is that bad or can I bury my head in the sand a bit longer? I'd rather spend the money on snow tyres. Does worn valve seals mean higher fuel consumption? I've noticed I don't seem to get as far for £27 these days.

Dont worry about it if it clears. Lots of diesels are like that.

Yeah they're sound enough underneath I suppose.

My van's blue smoke does appear more when parked up a hill front end higher.
