  1. Hello.im looking for some help here . My 2.8 voyager auto has been giving me grief recently. It will drive about all day fine , but as soon as you boot it ( 70 or above ) the temp shoots up . Almost into the red .. anyway I decided to change the radiator as after a bit of reading it seemed like that was the culprit. Now it has 4 radiators , I realised the front 2 are a/c the one nearest the engine is the cooling one . The 2nd ( smaller one ) from the engine is water , but I've no idea what it does . Anyway after changing the main cooling radiator , the car starts no problem , drives away fine revs ok ,but as soon as the revs rise it has no power at all 0 - 60  50 seconds as soon as it hits a hill it drops the gear ok, but no power at all . I think it's either turbo , intercooler, or erg valve ( engine light is on , and erg fault code , but it's been that way for over a year. ) power loss is only since I changed the radiator , ps . I've driven it a good distance and as long as no hills it's not too bad , and temp is low ( 1/4 way up the guage ) . If I can get it to run better I'll do the radiator thermostat mod . Any help is appreciated.

  2. I had this with my last voyager , I purchased a creader CRP 123 code reader .it tells you what sensor is faulty ,IE left front sensor no reading . speed each wheel is doing while you are driving ,( if it doesn't read a certain wheel , it is obvious.) allows you to reset codes , a bit expensive, but any good garage should have similar equipment. I'm not a garage but mess around with a few cars and this has paid for itself many times over. I bought it when a garage billed me £60 to tell me an abs pump was faulty . And £150 for the reader. would save me in the long run. And it has

  3. Hello . I've just bought a 2.8 crd 08 plate . When I went to look at it the seller was charging the battery , story was " hasn't been used for a few weeks" anyway I noticed the boot ( rear hatch ) kept on opening . Beep beep then opening and closing by itself . Thought ok it's the flat battery or a dodgy key fob. Took it home , it started fine , drove fine , but when I got up the next morning , boot was wide open and battery was totally flat , inside lights would have drained battery . Took battery out . Charged it overnight, fitted it , and hatchback opens up and closes on it's own again . Took key fob battery out , and it still does it . Looks like I'm going to have to disconnect hatchback electrics , or is there a cure . 

    Also rear park assist , I have 4 lights on all the time . Plus auto gear indication . PRND3L. All the lights light up , and eventually the correct one stays on . 

    Thanks in advance for any help . Cheers des
