  1. Tried charging for 12 hours and it went up to 11.9 haha!

    Was definitely the battery (thank god for Eurocarparts New Year Sale!). New battery in and started right on up!

    The plonker owner before me had swapped the positive connector side to fit a battery the wrong size in so it was a pain in the ass to put right but once connected all was good :)

     

    Now I'm just hoping for no leaks of the coolant over the next week or so :)

  2. Hi guys!

     

    I've just replaced the radiator on my GV 2.8CRD.

    I realised after 15 minutes I hadn't disconnected the negative terminal but by this point I hadn't touched any electricals.

     

    Now after the replacement I cannot even get the car to crank, it just clicks. Battery is reading 11.8v.

     

    Could i have shorted the battery? Done something to the immobiliser?

     

    I have pre ordered a battery from Euro Car Parts anyway as they were half price and my battery is from 2017 but I just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing something stupid before I go and replace the batt.

     

    Any advice welcome :)

  3. So today I thought I'd change the oil on my new GV (mk IV 2.8CRD) because the oil lamp is coming on at high revs. Another question on that point is the Eurocarparts 5w/40 right?

     

    I digress, I found a small pool of water just by the passenger side (UK) front wheel. Then I saw it dripping really slowly in that area.

     

    Any ideas? Is the water pump around there?

  4. After a brief stint with a C4 Grand Picasso. I picked up my new Grand Voyager 07 plate today!

    I had the standard Voyager before (a Y reg) so this is a huge upgrade both on stature and in terms of features.

     

    I'm glad to be back part of this great forum!
