  1. Too right matey!!

    Thin aluminium sheet rolled round it, and black high temperature sealant from my local Autofactors. Marvellous.  I think I'm due under there again soon sadly......

    It's just had its FOURTH water pump too! One when I got it 9 years ago, about 80,000 miles, one done by me - never again, one done by my mate just under a year ago, and one a month ago. I've bought cheap, and I've bought dear, doesn't make a jot of difference to this thing!! 

    Some radweld too, let's see how long it doesn't use coolant for this time. Have you got a stop watch? :lol:

     

     

  2. Sadly, Richard is probably right.

    But, give it a go - disconnect the battery for half an hour,  as a few of those circuits will reset this way. I would say pull the IOD fuse, but in this case go the whole hog.

    There are also the fuses under the steering wheel as well as the box under the bonnet, just check them all and hope something has done its job and protected things!

  3. I had a similar one on the Grand Voyager. The light stayed on at very low revs, bring them up a little and it went off.

    When the engine is running, dip the oil, if it's NOT on the dipstick then the pump is at least sending it round the engine.

    My knowledge of oil pumps doesn't extend to if they "wear out" and give poor pressure or circulation volume, but my problem was the oil pressure sensor.

  4. Hi there,

    I think it's just a bit of a coincidence, sadly, as the gearbox has input and output speed sensors on the 41TE auto on ours, and to my knowledge that's how it gets the feed for the speedometer.

    However, I stand to be corrected!!

    The wheel sensors are for the abs system.

    So it's very odd your speedo is now out of sync.  Perhaps the old trick of disconnecting the battery for half an hour might help the electronic brains to reset?

    @gordy may have an idea on it? Hey pal!!?

  5. Yeah.....

    I don't know if you are using your phone or not, but if you look at the forum on a laptop, you'll see the dates on replies and sections. The 5th generation is a very inactive section. I used to think it was because they were more reliable than the 4th Gen, which are ruddy awful, but maybe it's because there are so few of them. 

    Anyway, good luck with it!

  6. Hi there!

    I thought they were for the rad fans, but that's just from reading on here, mine's a petrol model.

    So, you've had the cheek to fix something on it, now the car clearly wants more attention. Mine always does.

    However, try the easy, quite often successful, trick of removing the IOD fuse for around 30 minutes, and it resets the Body Control Module. Let us know how you go on!

  7. Hi there!

    Yes, try looking at rockauto.com they will easily ship from the US to the UK, just had a look and for a 2001 Voyager, not Town & Country that's the Grand Voyager, they have several different suppliers available.

    Quite often you need to play around with the site, as some things are MUCH less carriage than others, same item from a different supplier.

    The one I came up with was a UAC part number CN4957PFC, and with all carriage and duties paid you could have it in 3 days on FedEx for a total of £136.29.

    Some of the others may be even cheaper!!

    Good Luck
