  1. Like you - I have a similar situation with the folding mirrors - one or both will extend too far and then you have to lean forwards and out of the window to pull them back in - it must be an ageing fault - or simply that the lugg that stops it in the right place has sheered off. When these cars work they're brilliant but I think we're beginning to realise why Chrysler retreated from the UK - the voyager range seem to have a 15 year maximum shelf life thereafter drop it as soon as soon as you can to some poor unsuspecting soul.
  2. Hi ALL, I read here somewhere that if the Central Locking stops working on Chrysler Grand Voyager Limited edition, 57 plate, the quick fix is to remove the central locking fuse for five minutes to reset the computer - on the cover of the fuse box, it says, "Disconnect Battery before Removing Fusebox Cover!" This seems to contradict the idea of simply removing the cover and lifting the fuse for five minutes - has anyone had direct experience of this before?

  4. What interests me more - is how clever it is - they open a profile on here - a message gets sent to your email address - then depending on your age and how stupid or desperate you are for sex, you click the link in your email, and then they've got your email address and access to hit you with other offers, even though the email message says contact me through the group - its a clever way to make easy affiliate money! But not going to help us get our Grand Voyager's fixed unless we just throw the towel in - scrap the cash guzzling monsters and spend the money watching porn!!! or bikinidancing.com which is far more subtle and is free to watch on youtube but sadly, depending on your point of view, no sex.
  5. Unfortunately its spam - if you click the link its trying to get you to sign up to a pornographic website and if you do, the person who posted the link will be paid a commission - then your email will end up on a database with half of West Africa sending you rogue emails trying to rob your bank account - DON'T CLICK ANY LINKS!!!!
  6. Hi Everyone, I have a Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 Executive - 57 Plate - Purchased secondhand - a fabulous multi use vehicle which I use for delivering household parcels for a well know courier company but it doubles up as a leisure car, and is the envy of other couriers particularly because of the leather, heated seats and the ability to hold small parcels on a scale of a transit van. All was well for about eighteen months, with occasional top up of coolant to topping up every morning. There was always a suspicion that there was oil in the coolant but I had the radiator flushed out, did an oil change last Summer (NO Coolant in oil) and as first thing to do strategy, changed the oil housing and the other water cooler component but still coolant loss. High pressure coolant pipe blew off in November, had them replaced. Took it for three 'Sniffer Tests' two claimed to be negative and one said was positive (the last one in February 2021) I have used two different, branded, steel seal type products, the latter appears to have slowed the coolant loss but after starting and running the engine, which runs fine, the next morning, a puddle of water with a continuing drip of droplets is observed coming from somewhere above the drivers side steering rack, just a slow drip - This was all preceded around Christmas time, when the temp gauge shot up, but no coolant loss - I can't tell specifically what colour the exhaust smoke is - at first start up - just normal exhaust fumes - at half an hour, a lot more smoke neither white or blue but maybe more greyish but not black - AND Worth noting, after a forty minute warm up run, the engine has a slight misfire at idle - Is this classic Head Gasket failure or something simple - like water coming out of a turbo pipe (Webasto) but would that explain the smoke? There is unfortunately an air of cowardice amongst British motor repairers - all want an easy life and if they have to use their brains, start adding noughts on to the cost because they'll try to frighten you so that you abandon repairs just so they can wash their hands of any problems - quick money no headaches or lots of money and still no guarantees - As you can probably tell I am feeling frustrated. Does anyone have direct knowledge of this model, preferably if you own one of have had similar problem with this make and model? NOT BEING RUDE - but please don't answer if your Mothers cousin twice removed, once owned a mini with a modified Skoda diesel engine fitted on the roof and think its going to solve my problem - I need Chrysler Grand Voyager owners who know whats what. Best Wishes, Andrew.
