This guy on the landy forums reckons his opens to allow the hot diesel to go through the cooler on the way back to tank? If this how it's actually setup it could be possible to create an thermostat valve to cool the return diesel and an under temp valve which would open the heater. So when its too cold it goes through the heater. When the return is too hot it opens and goes through the cooler. If its not too hot it returns to tank down a normal pipe?

That's already exactly how it works, apart from there's no need for the 'return via normal pipe' as the thermostat simply blends the blends the supply to the filter housing to get the temperature right - it selects whether it sends more through the exchanger or whether it only pulls from the tank which will just mix hot and cool and the bimetallic strip will shut off each supply as required.
