We have a 2001 registered Peugeot Boxer as the base vehicle for our MH.
Suddenly last year couldn't get 5th or reverse gear but then all was well after having new cables fitted. However, just lately we're finding another problem with gear changing. When we first set off all is normal but after about 25 - 30 miles we start to having difficulty in getting up into 5th as well as back down into 2nd causing us to grate the gears. It happens when either of us is driving so can't be put down to technique! We mentioned this when the 'van was serviced last week and the mechanic greased something or maybe it was an oil change. Anyway, whatever he did hasn't improved matters. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what this might be caused by so we can be forearmed when approaching the garage again? Thanks.
