- I'm a newbie, did have a Caravan about 8 years ago.
Hi there, Parked my MH up last year in October, covered it up and left it over Winter.
Everything was fine when I put it into hibernation.
I uncovered it recently to find Battery flat, completely, must have been something draining it.
After two days of charging I managed to get it to charge back up, it is fine now and fully charged and holding charge.
My problem is, I took the MH for a run today, just to blow cobwebs out and was surprised by the lack of power from the engine, I can normally buzz along at 50mph quite easily, it was a struggle to get the thing to do 40, with foot hard on the floor, would not entertain 5th gear at all. I took it for about 3 miles and though I had better turn for home before it cut out on me, a little better on the way back 45, but no 5th gear. It was fully serviced last year in August by a reputable Auto service depot (whom I use for all my vehicles) so I trust him. My mate says take it for a longer run and it will get better, I think there is something wrong, It will rev out fully when it is stood, but only about 2000 revs under load.
It's a Peugeot Boxer with a 1900 diesel engine 2002, non turbo.
Has anyone had a similar problem.
