Twice now, my Rapido has lost acceleration, on the same stretch of road.

60 mph, motorway, up a steady hill. Suddenly notice I've got no acceleration. Coming off the slip road, the MH really struggles to pick up. Lost all the zippiness it normally has.

No malfunctions on the display, except for the odd notice about my oil level being too high, but it doesn't coincide with this issue.

If I pull over, shut down and start again, the MH works fine.

I've read this could be something as simple of low transmission fluid, so I want to get it looked at. It's under 2nd-hand warrantee.

Can anyone recommend someone in the North Lincs / South Yorkshire area who has experience of this type of vehicle?

If you think it's something a hammer could fix, please let me know where to hit it, otherwise this is the extent of my mechanical skills.

Thanks!

Sounds like the transmission fluid, auto mercedes engines are very prone to issues if the oil is low or perished. They change it on the first service on new vehicles.
