Hey, on my way home this afternoon, my van got to 50mph and then wouldn't go any faster. it was fine on my way out this morning.
ive had no warning lights come on, the oil and water levels are all ok. Is there anything i am missing or not checking?
Can anyone help please.
Thanks

Re: stopping a 50mph
Any idea of where exactly it's leaking from? I had a leak on mine, which just turned out to be a lose nut.

You were in top weren't you? I drove a camper for miles in third gear years ago (wasn't mine) and wondered why it was so slow

Yes used all the gears, handbrake was off, engine was running

It appears to be leaking from the governor that sticks out of the top of the pump that the LDA operates
