  1. Now there is a reason for the handbrake problem on this car and I'm surprised its not been mentioned on here, forby Me. Normal cars with handbrake cited between the two front seats have the cable routed below where it's connected up to a "T" piece. Two Equal lengths of cable then carry on to left and right rear drums on most cars take note.

    Now in the Chrysler there is not equal lengths as one cable, left side, goes straight to left rear. Other cable has a elbow bend on it. Its this elbow that causes the problem. Pull on the handbrake if you please and you loose part of your brake pull because of this. Answer is to leave left cable slacker than right so drums get equal pull. (Might drive some people mad this answer). 

  2. Was 2012 when I got my last Voyager, not got one at present. Sadly missed. Back then I got my belt kit replaced for £478 from back street garage. Got a quote from the  all singing and dancing main dealer at time and they wanted £750. Time for job was 4hrs. So your price sounds good.

  3. Well its interesting to know that it happens with other cars as well. There's a bit unclarity with your writing as you say it does't stop so is this a loss of power  fault. Well anyway I'll add MAP as this  when faulty either drops power when asking for it. Or shuts engine down. Take it out of engine, sits right on top. Normally caked in the black stuff, but how much black stuff can make it fail. 

  4. Well I would expect that if you stay in middle England I might be just a case of their next door or down the road. I'm talking here about getting a spring made in this country, or they might have one in stock, after handing over the old one at the desk. Price is up to you of course. I reconn you may have to double that though for both springs. My Voyager went to breakers with 2 good springs.

  5. MAP is the boost pressure sensor, the one that tells the engine brain what boost the turbo is making  so that you can get up that hill. If not enough pressure  it shuts engine down. Only thing is you could be overtaking at the time. It's situated on top of the  inlet manifold left side. Clean with care, better replaced.
