Hello Warren,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Did you buy privately, or from a business ?

Bought from Campervan Co

In that case I would return it to them and have it fixed under Consumer Law etc.

 

Was there a written warranty ?

 

If you can't get it started you should call them and discuss what action they will take.

 

A conversation with Trading Standards and Citizens Advice before you do may be beneficial. 

Hi, did you have any caution / warning lights on the instrument panel? I had 6 months on the van, 12 months on the conversion and 5 years warranty on the HV battery on my van from them. No problem fixing the battery after 4 years.

Thanks all- yes  they have offered to repair under the warranty

Great result. Well Done Campervan Co.

 

Let us all know the result please.

It is probably worth checking the oil level in the gearbox, even if it is just out of curiosity before it gets taken for repair. Low oil level in a CVT gearbox can cause all sorts of running problems. 

Thanks - will check
