Thanks to all who have replied, Dave I had a good look and feel around underneath and no sign of diesel leakage. Having checked the manual more carefully, it appears that the instrument panel red light which looks like an injector is actually the general engine diagnostic warning light, so it could be anything - until I can get a dealer to plug in it's going to be difficult to narrow down the possible cause.Thanks to Charlie for the link to his previous thread, which also linked to other/s. The real worry is that several posters have experienced the same or similar symptoms but the causes have been numerous and varied!
I really hate intermittent faults and can foresee paying for hours of fault-finding time with no guarantee of a lasting solution.
Today we drove from Crail to Gretna (over 150 miles) covering country & town roads, dual carriageway and motorway without any problem, then the symptoms suddenly appeared about half a mile from our destination
Thanks again to all who have taken the trouble to respond; if nothing else I can now make up a list of things for my garage to check, although I will risk getting my hands dirt and see if I can check out the injector leads for myself when (if?!) we get safely back to base.

When going up hill,under load,warning light comes on;loss of is then experienced when changing gear 2 to3 or 3to4.
Dealer has changed wiring loom-changed a sensor,and spent many hours<my money>all to no avail.

If you fill in your profile with your area you will get more chance of a reply. As a garage in Dover wont suit someone who lives in Glasgow.

What parts were replaced if you have them down specifically?
Is the HDi lump?

OK then, now I know where you are I can advise you where top go and where to avoid.
Powerline services in Shipley took my van in after Sewell of Leeds had tried to fix a diesel leak a number of times and made the van worse than ever, causing the eml lo light.
Powerline services are Bosch trained and offer a very professional service. They diagnosed my fault, in fact 2 faults within the first visit.

Has the motor been rechipped or have a plug in power module. We bought a Fiat powered motorhome a while ago and we had this symptom when giving it some stick. Steve at Essenjay Poole checked the vehicle, tried it, and said it went too well !
They removed the ' plug in thing ' tried it, problem cured. We then had a Tune It system fitted, no problems after that. Well ! only with the dealer that we had the motorhome from who did not want to know, but that is another story.
Have the fault codes read, if the light flashed there is a fault code stored, once you have the fault code you or someone here can then start diagnosing & avoid costly guessing. Most independent garages can do this, thus not having to rely solely on a dealer.

No decent garage would start fitting parts on this type of fault without reading codes unless a physical defect was obvious. i.e, diesel leak loose or broken wire etc. So I presume they have a code, however a code could indicate a symptom like low common rail pressure but this can be caused by a faulty pump, pressure sensor, wiring, blocked filter, injector etc.
Please let us know what parts were fitted and what the code reader showed as the issue.
