Sorry is that with a 5 speed? Have you tried sound insulation?

Yes it's 5 speed , I plan to put the sound proofing in but that won't make it go any faster , it just runs out of steam at 50 ,pretty sure it's the final drive I have nothing left to change .

Well van went away for its first long distance run 268mile round trip returning 32mpg . Very happy as it was only returning 18/20 on petrol . It may of been higher as my day can't get diesel,in the tank with out it throwing back :-)

It's not so much that , I bought it with other family members as we wanted to try motorhomeing . We all love it but I seem to spend most of my time doing stuff to it and I work away a lot and I have a MK2 cortina that's been in my garage for 7 years . It's all a bit much and a shame because looking at so w of the issues I a e seen on here mines a gem

On the bright side you must have just about got on top of everything now so this season should (fingers crossed) be relatively trouble free.
If you want a really list of faults I have relatives who bought a new motorhome based on a mercedes truck, I think for the first couple of years we called their holidays a tour of the Mercedes commercial dealerships of europe, damn thing had more issues than the average teenager and it still chucks up random error messages on the computer and goes into limp home mode at the drop of a hat...
