Hiya Pal! Yeah it's grating when they couldn't be arsed to say thanks, or confirm the help did, or didn't, work, REALLY rankles me. And when people used to pop up, no introduction, just straight into a question with an "I'm entitled to an answer" attitude, that pissed me off too. We don't have the Grand Voyager anymore, finally had enough of the mither, and got a Toyota Vellfire in November 2024. Anyway, good to hear from you, and hope you are well! Cheers, Nev

Hi mate! Yup, gone are the days of regular activity! I did actually see a GV on the road last week, shocked me to bits! Any Chryslers seem to be rare as rocking horse muck now! I had a look on Autotrader and there's very few Voyagers for sale, but some people think they're worth a lot more than anyone in their right mind would pay for one! Hope you're keeping well!

Hi guys! Are there any of us still here? Though even we don't actually have a Chrysler any more!

Not many Chrysler owners at all come to it.

Hi @RichardM Well it's 2 months in, and so far loving the new motor! We've not done too many miles, but it is jolly well very, very, nearly as comfortable on a 120 mile run as the Voyager, but smoother, quieter, and more powerful, with very similar handling, and even more spacious! A new toy for me to buy trinkets for!

I guess the problem with mobile websites is you don't get to see the dates, Sept 2023, or other useful info, like how many posts the OP made, a whole 1. I'm gonna reckon he's not around, pretty much like anybody on this site anymore

Don't reckon it helps 18 months after.......

Yes pal, we are the last of the old guard!! Haha, it took me a year to let go of the one that had a TCM to BCM comms fault, bit less attached to this one, been a pain in the backside! I will still keep looking on here though! It had a very fixed deadline of November 23rd, as it's MOT expired that day, and a nice chap took it a week before. We went to look at a Toyota Vellfire the day after, private seller, did a deal and picked it up last Friday! We had been talking to the local import dealer, but they mucked us around, first spoke to them in April, and get the feeling they thought they had us "over a barrel" because we had told them about that deadline. We specified we wanted a service history - if I was paying good money I certainly did - but they then lied and said they don't come with records for "privacy", but never said this in the last 6 months!! Some other dealers adverts had history, but not on the spec of car we wanted, so we fired them off! It's bigger, well taller, but not longer, than the Voyager by quite a bit, do I recall you are a tall bloke, if so you may want to consider one of these, Alphards or Vellfires. They are all Jap imports, 2.4 or 3.0 or 3.5 petrol, and wow it's lovely! This one has been converted to LPG by the only UK owner, which is something we would have done!

Hi to the very few people who come here! Our Voyager has finally had enough, and went for parts to a lovely chap last week! I wish him well, and good luck, he'll need it! Cheers guys!!

Hi there! Don't know why the rear doors are playing up, but try removing the IOD fuse for 20 minutes, quite often resets some things. That protrusion on the door, is linked to the petrol flap, to stop the door opening if the flap is open being filled.

Ebay?

That's a shame mate, but it's not just inconvenient stalling hey, as you say ruddy dangerous! I thought ours was a gonner last week, flat battery several times, I thought parasitic drain, and I'm REALLY not interested in tracking that down. However, I had the battery checked at our local battery suppliers, and a day after being on charge for 24 hours it was 10.6 volts, bad enough, but only 130 cranking amps!!!!!!! So it's toast. The label has gone, but I remember it was from Tayna batteries in Wales, as we were on holiday in Abergele at the time where they were based, most probably one of their "Powerline" model 096R, so should be around 630 cold cranking amps!! So when we are back from holibobs, I will reluctantly have to stump up for one, humbug!!!

You've done way better than most with these dumb handbrake designs!!!

Nicely done on a horrible job mate! A good write up for anyone contemplating the task! I've only done that job once, on my van, and getting that blighter out required a level of flexibility and dexterity I struggle with now!! Certainly the rear 2 (of 3) bolts, hidden well. It sat nicely at the front of the engine though, below the egr pipe and above the starter motor, which was another thrutch. Sadly it gummed up again not so long after, but blanking it off presented no problems or lights. When I tried that on my petrol Voyager it didn't like it - chucked a light and a code, harrumph.

It'll be the blending damper doors, nope I've no idea how to fix it.
