evening! i have just fitted a new propex heatsource 2000 to my van and cant get the bugger to light.
it did run yesterday but started with a loud pop!! it ran a few times and all was well with the world.
tried it today and nothing.
got pleanty of battery power, gas and all the wiring is correct. gas can be smelt thru the exhaust when the heater is trying to light. the themal cut out hasnt popped out either.
anyone got any tips for these....?
i fitted it to go away for new year buts its looking grim at the mo......
thanks for any advice chaps.

on the 2000 the type of gas doesn't matter so much! what will matter is ifyou have enough pressure in the bottle! is the bottle full enough??

is there tap inline? check its not full of s h i t.
maybe swarf from cutting new pipe got in jet?

otherwise contact propex they are normally pretty helpful.

the gas is butane but as temp is over 2 degrees thats ok.
the bottle is full too!!!
propex are shut till after the new year..........doh!!!
jed if i cant fix it i cant bloody go as mrs k is full of cold. gutted is not the word.
theres no swarf in the pipes but the bloddy thing just wont go.
looks like they sent me a bad un dont it???
what i dont get tho is that it lit yesterday loads of times............

You haven't accidentaly turned down the thermostat have you, might sound a bit stupid but I know someone else who did and wondered why it wouldn't light

it looks like a bad unit. fair play to propex posting one out as a relplacement tommorrow. now thats service

new unit cured it instantly yeay

its a cheezer when tihngs dont work propper. ah well its done now and youll never be cold again

Well done
