Experienced intermittent loss of power along with red injector light on dash coming on and off earlier this evening, this carried on for several minutes, could be cleared temporarily by changing down and increasing revs but then returned again when revs dropped. Pulled over and turned off engine for a couple of minutes, then re-started and drove as normal for about an hour, then exactly the same thing happened again within ten minutes from base, cleared in same way. Base is a Peugeot Boxer 02 reg 2.8 HDi. Any ideas?

You will need the fault codes reading. Possibly low fuel pressure, check for any dampness under the injector pump. But it could be a lot of things like turbo pressure etc.
Wiring loom & plugs to the injectors seems to be a popular fault Could be worth a quick look under the bonnet to give the wiring a shoogle whilst Mrs RodgerBlack monitors the light on the dash.
Thanks, Jezport - I assume a dealer would have to check the fault code by plugging in. I thought it might be some muck in the fuel and hoped it had cleared after the first time when all went well for around an hour, but then it started again. To be honest, I wouldn't know where to find the jets or even what they look like if they appeared in my soup, not my area of expertise.
We're setting off for stage one of our journey back south today, fingers crossed we make it unhindered! At least the 'van is the most comfortable vehicle to break down in if it happens. Will check for the location of any Peugeot dealers near our route just in case.

Get your hand under the bottom of the engine and feel for drips of diesel. You should also smell it if it is leaking

D.
Thanks, Dave - I'll try that, although there's such a mass of wires and connectors under the bonnet, especially with all the retrofit stuff we have, I afeared of disturbing something else! And as I mentioned in my earlier reply, vehicular mechanical stuff's no ma forte - it'd probably be just as useful if Mrs B shoogled and I watched the light
Good news is there seem to be several Peugeot garages listed on the website between Fife and the Borders, our planned stop-off point tonight, so if it happens again we'll try getting one of them to have a look. Got the breakdown company number handy just in case . . .

The fault code was PO220 (loss of accelerator position sensing) when it happened to our 2.8JTD. The engine went into 'limp' mode, except it didn't limp very far! The temporary cure, as you did, is to switch off for a couple of minutes, let all the 'trons' scuttle back to where they should be, and re-start.
The permanent cure was effected at Essanjay in Poole by Steve Worssell and his merrie men, a couple of hours' work on the wiring loom. Something to do with a build up of resistance, if I remember correctly.

That sounds exactly like what we experienced. We are heading back to Berkshire over the next 2-3 days, if all else fails we may end up continuing on to make a visit to sunny Poole!
