  1. Hi Mike, the injector refurb cured the the original problem we had (fuel bypass) everything else was purely cautionary to ensure a trouble free trip. sorry to sell it at what I know will be a sizeable loss but it has served its purpose. if no interest, will be listed on the bay over the weekend
  2. Afternoon all, firstly appreciate all the advice from the experts on this forum it really was invaluable. Grey grand voyager 2.8 purchased late last year @ £3850 for the single purchase of a road trip across europe transporting a disabled friend together with his electric buggy, wheelchair etc, etc. The rear seat comfort clinched the choice of car. Car was faultless from home to holland, then germany plus poland and back totalling a bloody long way with decent economy as well. Prior to the trip we had the car gone through so we would have no hiccups, that's where the expense started but made the trip worry free. Injector refurb on all 4. Cam belt and water pump. Replaced gearbox oil cooler. Major service. New Air con pump and full re-gas. New alternator prior to purchase This work totalled well over 2 grand but was worth it. New MOT last week. So before we put it on the bay anyone fancy putting in an offer? Based in Great yarmouth, can send pics of car and receipts. Bad points to note are dent in tail gate from some arse with a tow ball who cannot reverse and the fold down dvd screens do not work.
  3. Evening Gents, many thanks for the valuable advice. Had all 4 injectors pulled and tested, 3 were barely a pass but the 4th was a total fail, had them rebuilt and the 2000 mile round trip went without a hitch. Loaded up with 3 passengers, an electric disabled buggy and other stuff plus crates of beer it returned a very pleasing 29mpg, thanks for all your help.
  4. Hi Aaron, how much for the gearbox oil cooler?
  5. Hi Neil, thanks for the response, yes, there is some smoke. going to get the injectors rebuilt as a precaution, hopefully not a ring as I don't fancy the cost of a full teardown!
  6. Many thanks for your help, will pass this onto the garage and report back
  7. Bought a 2007 2.8 diesel Grand voyager a few months ago as it seemed the ideal vehicle for transporting a disabled person around europe in May. Drives nicely but following a full service and overall inspection has had to have some work done. Now, here's the thing, engine oil was way high at service and after only a short time has risen again. The garage think it's either fuel or ATF getting into the oil as there is no sign of milkiness indicating water but they freely admit that they are no experts on these vehicles. Anybody help with words of wisdom? Also any one point me in the right direction for a transmission oil cooler if ours can't be repaired?
