Got a problem with a mazda bus (its been converted to a motorhome, i realise its not a $x$ but hopefully someone hear may be able to help). Since the 190K service (3,00km ago) its had a rough idle after it has been running for 25 minutes. Its fine while its cold and its always exactly after 25 minutes the rough idle starts, not affected by the distance travelled, always time dependant.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to the possible cause ?? I'm fairly new to diesel motors, own a gq with the 4.2 deisel in it, so any help on this one may come in useful at a later date.
Any help greatly appreciated

Ok, strange, but the problem has been fixed. Had to replace the battery on the bus as it had died, and this seems to have stopped the rough idle when hot. Really can't understand why this would be the case, if anyone has any suggestions as to why would be interested in hearing them.
Thanks to everyone who has posted a reply so far, all comments and suggestions noted and much appreciated
Happy holidaying and travelling.
