  1. Hi Everybody. I hope you have all been keeping safe. My Grand Voyager is sadly up for sale. I sorned it at the start of this covid-19 trouble as I have been furloughed and have taken a hit with income and can't run 2 cars anymore. It is in above average condition. 86'700 miles. Oil change not due till October. All the usual Executive trim, leather, cruise, electric remote doors, heated seats. I have done the button mod, It has the redtop battery (working well with a solar charger I plug in when not using, will be included in sale). The tyres are in good condition 2x Goodyear & 2x Kumho and so are the discs and pads (were done for last MOT). The MOT is valid until 17/09/2020 with no advisories. The wheels could do with a refurb as most GV's with alloys do! The handbrake cable has broken, but as it's an auto, It's left in park, but will need doing for the next MOT. Also the air-con was working before it was sorned but not when I started it up a couple of days ago, so probably needs a re-gas. The thermostat is working and the auto box works fine. I have both sets of keys. I have a Chilton manual that will be included in the sale as well as a set of glow plugs (if I can find them!). The Timing belt was done between 60k &70k so nothing to worry about there. All in all a good car. £1500 (sorry no offers as I know this is above average condition). And with this mileage I have seen them over double this price. Will be sold as seen due to standing for a few months. It also has half a tank of diesel to get the new owner home! Here is a link to the photo's (let me know if it doesn't work!) https://photos.app.goo.gl/5g6jJMfwVR972BQA6 Any Questions PM me. Thanks Paul P.S. Car is In Telford.
  2. My Antifreeze is something I need to address when the weather gets a bit better. Mine is reddish brown and can’t see the needle readings on my antifreeze tester. So for piece of mind I syphoned 5 litres out and replaced with 5 litres of holts 05 hoat to get me through the winter. My thermostat is working fine but like @@RichardM I have a Renault in-line thermostat in my toolbox just in case. As for the starting, I only have bother below 5 degrees C. And the it only takes a few more seconds to start than normal. (Must have some decent compression). I have found that all my glow plugs are duff, I have brought a new set, but again will wait for the better weather to change.
  3. I changed from a same year Zafira 1.6 to the crd. Just had to pay admin charge that was with 7 months left to go on my policy, so I am not expecting to pay extra. Mine is about £290 fully comp with all the bells and whistles eg courtesy car and protected no claims. Having said, I always seem to be blessed with low car insurance for some reason. My Golf V6 2.8 4motion is only £300 fully comp, but it is on a 3000 mile per annum limit.
  4. I had my oil changed last time at National Tyre (usually do it myself but had no time before my holiday). They used a top notch filter and Lukoil Genesis 5w40 fully synthetic oil. Cost about £65 all in. The guy left it to drain a good hour as well. Seems good oil. ( Chrysler spec). Not used a drop since it was done and engine seems nice and quiet. (apart from the diesel knock you get on these engines!). The oil that came out didn’t look too bad, so I don’t think these engines are too hard on the oil. They seem to run to spaceship mileages. Just stick to the oil change schedules with a good filter and either a 5w30 or 5w40 fully synthetic diesel oil. (Non dpf oil).
  5. Don’t know if this helps, but my Grand Voyager does this every time I swap the battery. Well it’s just the abs light. But after about a week of use, it turns off itself. Then I have no more problems. Maybe it needs to go through a set amount of cold start to fully warmed up cycles. I have seen this before on other makes.
  6. Here is a link to the function list for each module. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sKAET0ezinyZgamPIDiYCBk1zYIIzzWy?usp=sharing Hope this helps.
  7. I actually own a ILink400 but have not yet brought the Chrysler module. I have the VAG and Vauxhall modules on it. It is a excellent diagnostic tool for the money and allows you to perform most dealer level adaptions. I have used it on many cars including my current Golf v6 4motion 2.8, also Audi TT 3.2. I have plugged it into my Grand Voyager and it does scan and delete codes out the box, but you would have to buy the Chrysler software module open up its full potential.
  8. Hi guys & gals. First time owner of a Chrysler. Brought a 2007 Grand Voyager Executive CRD auto 84’000 miles 4 months ago. Learnt a lot from the forum before joining today. Already done the button mod. Thanks leedsman. Really enjoying ownership so far. Nice big barge to drive. When I brought the car it had a Exide EB741 battery on (unknown age but looked old), worked fine till it got cold. Decided to buy a RedTop. Mistake. Yes it had great cranking power, but drained heavily when not used for a couple of days. I borrowed a high tech amp meter which recorded over a long weekend of no use. Car was only drawing minimal ma consistently. Yet my battery tester had it down to 40% charge. When I charge the RedTop up to 100% and leave disconnected, it retains charge. Apparently the self discharge when connected is common on these red tops. Quality is not what they used to be. In the end gave up and brought a Advanced 096R XD battery for £80 delivered. This battery is perfect. No self discharge and plenty of power to spin the crd over on cold mornings. Volt meter reads 12.8v after leaving all weekend. Result. Sorry for the long first post, but wanted to share my experience. I like to do my own servicing and repairs, and pretty handy with electrics and fault finding on management systems. Hope I can contribute to the forum as much as it’s helped me already. Paul.
