Hi. I recenlty did all bushes on rear springs. Mines Grand Voyager 2007 stow and go. Best to remove whole spring with shackles attached, easier to remove shackle bolts and cut big bush out. I changed all smaller rubber bushes on rear shackle as well,you have to reuse bolt sleeve if buy just bushe kit. One of mine wasn't great, fitted it. I'm still try to find a supplier for new sleeve. Also replaced roll bar bushes and links. Id also check shock absorber bushes, mine where still good.

Good advice Quinteq. Bad earth veey common in fact i add whole new earth from terminal to starter. Battery needs to be at least 12.5v at start-up.
Have you tried manually pumping fuel system? It's a hand push button on top of fuel filter on front of engine. Also check fuse box if diesel/ fuel heater fuse has blown. Common fault on these fuel filter housing cracks and generally blows fuel heater fuse.

I had same problem on mine. After ripping my gearbox out and having it in million pieces turned out to be...... Torque converter failed. Reverse and 1st gear hesitatation are generally signs of torque converter failure. Unfortunately it's whole gearbox rebuild as generally more stuff like snap rings break due strain etc from failing torque converter. I successfully rebuild mine. Lots of info available from helpful American's on YouTube but not a job for faint hearted.

Hi. Thanks for replies. I've had some success to early to say nailed it. Let me explain.
 
Auto Electrician squeezed me in for quick look see yesterday. His computer checked for faults, no gearbox or ecu faults. His computer was able to give live data on Transmission range sensor showing us changing gears and what each solenoid was doing. All checked fine with Chrysler service manual charts. Also showed clutch volume index or CVI for each solenoid. All within correct parameters.
L/R cvi 75
2nd/4th cvi 20
O.D cvi 68
Low gear cvi 35
All of this with car on and in reverse with fault present.
 
The only bad thing we notice was transmission temperature sensor/TTS said -20C 1.8V . Outside temp on day was 12C so obviously wrong. This sensor is built into transmission range sensor, got pull gearbox apart to change and not readily available. These sensors work on very small changes in voltage which can also occur with bad connection/corroded terminals or bad ground.
 
I've unplugged every plug sprayed electric contact cleaner, cleaned up and Replugged. I also removed TCM from under passenger wheel arch. Opened it up. It's computer pci board in clear jelly. Jellies still crystal clear no sign of green corrosion or blackened short so think its fine. Didn't touch anything just closed it back up. Mine has Mopar remanufactured sticker on it. P/N R4727535AF. What I did do is turn it over and file mounting area that touches car body as this Tcm is ground on case. Been aluminium body another corrosion bad contact area for ground. I'm starting to think most problems on these voyagers are bad connections and bad grounds/negative. I also ran wire from negative battery to back of this Tcm case traped by mounting bolt.
 
Finally found the TCM relay! On 2.8crd 2007 if you open bonnet in front of fuse box and ecu above radiator you'll see 5 or so black box's mounted on front beam. First three from left are radiator fans relays then TCM relay and far right is lighter grey is glow plug relay.
I found TCM relay abit green corroded, cleaned and swapped with one rad fans. Reassemble car tes t drive time. We'll if you've read all this let me give you good news, car seems nearly right. Gear shifts are abit abrupt not as smooth as before but I'm thinking gearbox might need to relearn.
 
Side note. I preformed an autopsy on old solenoid pack. Check with ohm meter coils all showed continuity so they where fine, 3 x sensors showed 250ohm each if remember right which seemed right. I then pulled 8 x tiny filter out. Each was spotless clean and mesh was white. Atf4 oil that came out rose light pink. I then un screwed and split unit. Didn't find any debri,back of coils was slightly grey. My verdict. Gearbox hasn't got blockage from debri in hydraulics. Don't think the old solenoid pack was bad. Don't regret spending £102 on brand spanking new one. Might still have to bite bullet and drop pan to check filter. Changed filter and 4l mopar atf+4 at 116k it's on 122k now. From records last changed by chrysler dealer 88k. Records also show Recon gearbox fitted 66k with new solenoid pack.

These heavy diesels pull alot of amps for startup. In cold it's far higher. Corroded earth in wiring harness is not unheard of. Mine was getting harder to start. Then just clicking from starter motor. I also saw dash clocks doing strange things. All gear lights lit up. Id already fitted new battery. Dawned on me the earth might be problem so tried jumper cable from negative on battery to starter motor bolt. Dash lights and gear selection lights behaved instantly and car started first turn. I'd add I did usaul checking existing earth was tight and battery terminals where tight. Battery seems to charge alot better now.
And yes bad earth can cause cut out while running. And super easy and cheap to try. I need to figure how to post pic
It might not totally solve everthing but help getting descent power to starter motor.
