Flushing would be a good thing on a 5 yearly service put on a 12 year old vehicle which might not have had a antifreeze change you can not expect a flash to clear a blocked radiator with the veins blocked solid for all you know it might have had some sort of sealer in for some reason in the past you just don't know I will sooner change a radiator then do a head gasket through overheating anytime that's the way I feel.

HI I have just put a new rad in my voyager 2.8 crd flashing is a waste of time. The difference a new rad as made is so much better I can do 70mph all day and the gauge sits at one mark below half way uphill downhill loaded buy a new rad it will be worth it it used to set at halfway and go to 3/4 up hill and at 70mph+ when I took the sides of the old rad it was full of hard suit in the bottom it was like cement if you do change it look at Andy browns video on youtube and look at my add on below price of rad 73 pounds from Ebay.Jeff

Well I got a Fox NT301 works great with my 2007 2.8 crd live data works good as well at around £55.00.

Hi Yes mine does that but when I put my code reader on it comes up clear put the code is in the key dance for quite a while then after some time it  goes do not worry get a code reader I use the Fox NT301 in works well on the Chrysler got it from Ebay good luck. Jeff

And a Big thanks to Andy browns video on youtube makes it a lot easier.

Hi Just a thought have you tried disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes or so to reset the ecu when you do it put lights on so it drains all the power out. Jeff

Hi It Was a blocked rad some of the veins were totally blocked at the botton of the rad thanks to all for there support. Jeff

Hi soupstone thanks for your support I will be puting a new rad in I think it's generally blocked had a look at andy browns video so shouln't be to hard to change. Jeff

Hi To all just got a new problem when I get to 70mph the temperature gauge goes up to 3 quarters put as soon as I come down to 60 it goes back to halfway quickiy water pump is ok no loss of water fan is working as it should no rubbish in front of rad the only thing I can think of is a blocked rad what do you think on this or am I missing something it's on a 2.8 crd 2007 thanks. Jeff

Yes the ground cables they all go to canbus system and upset the lot definitely worth a cleanup tyring to get my friend to find out more for you. Jeff

I had my cam belt done for £300 I supplied the cam belt kit my self water pump was new and cam belt had been done before make sure keep a record in case you sell it one day I would have saved £300 I'm in norfolk.

On my 07  2.8 I changed the sensor underneath the alternator it's held on with 3 star bolts  I think they are T15 or T25 that sensor can give you trouble like that but make sure your filter is tight as when I did mine it was lose and the filter housing can get hair cracks hope it helps. Jeff

Hi You can not use the brakes from a 2008 on as it as different calipers stump axel ect.

A 3.3 I hope you mean 2.8 the 2.8 will fit in with no problem it should have a copper washer sometimes two washers I have seen it done before as long as all the injector comes out you should be ok

I would try to tighten it bit more as sometimes they need to be tight as there is a lot of pressure in the pipes.

Hi To me it looks like a oil seal on the gearbox converter is leaking a bit  my mate put in that lucas stop slip and he said it worked if you try that first a cheap fix just remember to put in boiling water to make it come out easier it takes a while to work.

Hi the water out lets are probably blocked my drivers door it needed cleaning out I done the lot to make sure water outlets in bottom of the doors are clear. Jeff

On my 07 2.8 crd I put on 215x65x16 c van tyres all around and it goes around bends great and insurance were ok with them.

Hi When I had my battery out and put a new one in the code for radio was saved by the ecu and came back on again put if you want a code number for it you have to take the radio out on the it is the serial number go on Ebay a seller will give you the code number when you give them the serial number. Jeff

All good in the end.

Hi When I done mine I put a new one on about £30 of ebay not sure about cleaning as you can not get into it properly so I put a new one on. Jeff

HI Done mine and I looked on youtube and saw a russian guy doing one the tool he used worked ok so went on ebay bought  one it worked for me is name is autoshaman mechanic. Jeff

My parking box was in the rear n/s panel where the jack up bits are stored.

Hi David is a diesel or petrol  l've got a 07 diesel and my sensor is on the front of engine near the erg valve on the engine block. Jeff

I had a issue with oil light coming on they do seen to suffer some times if it comes on again change it for a genuine one. Jeff
