  1. I agree pal, but I'm not sure if the site moderators / head guys are around much if at all. I can only go off the spamming that went on for a while and didn't get erased from the forum.
  2. Possibly your local auto locksmith would be a good call?
  3. Robot, clearly. As you can see from the lack of posts for your cars generation, it's not the most active area on the forum. Just like the 5th Gen. Not like the 4th - all manner of stuff goes wrong on them so it sees lots of traffic. If I had any good ideas I would have posted, as I'm sure would any others. I obviously presume you have searched the common auction and sale sires, ebay, gumtree etc.
  4. I absolutely and completely agree Richard! SO many times a member appears, asks a question, receives information and suggestions, then disappears, with no clue as to what did, or didn't resolve their problem. That just doesn't help others, and is really rather rude, in my grumpy old man opinion! Like not being acknowledged when letting other drivers out of side roads, or to come through first, bah humbug.
  5. Good evening pal! Very glad you got it sorted, always good if you have a spare bit or two around hey!! That's a rather good play on spelling - I quite like it This one (of the 3 we've had) has always been an ungrateful sod of a car. Dealer registered demo - I'll never do that again! Well, not on a yank tank for sure. Even if it was assembled in Austria.
  6. Hiya pal, I've had this in the past, and we know how sensitive our buses are! Try taking out the IOD fuse while you have a brew, 15 minutes or so, and see if it coaxes it back in to cooperative mode!
  7. Happy New Year Richard! And I concur with all you said!! Pants to being correct
  8. Merry Christmas to one and all! Especially those with a running, driving, 4th Generation!
  9. You didn't say about the power loss and smoking. Or now only smoking. So I'm not sure what is wrong with it now. People can't help if you don't accurately describe all the problems.
  10. Ah. So, clean the bottle. Then monitor it from there. It could hopefully be something from the cars past.
  11. It's good forum practice to keep a topic to one post, not multiples. If admin could merge them it would be good! In reply to your other picture, as per my previous suggestion. After that your head gasket could be gone. Or you're engine is toast. Can you check for an answer to my question on the state of the oil? If it's what I queried, very old sludgy and sooty, that could be a factor.
  12. Have you ever cleaned it? If not start at that, water will do that over many years! Take it off, no I don't know how on yours, and use something like a bottle brush to clean and flush out the inside of the tank. Oil in the coolant gives a white creamy substance. Unless your oil is so old and black its managed to do that to it!!
  13. Hi there! So, if it eventually starts and them it will just carry on running, (as I don't have a diesel Voyager I'm going off experience on other cars) it's possible it could be fuel drain back. As in lack of fuel pressure at the rail. If you have or can get access to an OBD reader this should potentially help to see this - maybe!! My van had this problem, simply caused by the non return valve on the fuel line into my filter having failed. It may be yours is on the edge. But obviously it's just an educated guess!!
  14. Sad to see you both go! Pop back and let us know what you get next! You don't have to own a Voyager to impart your knowledge and experience! Please check in now and again! All the best mate, Nev
  15. Wish I could help mate! Looking like not very many gen 5 owners come on here hey!
  16. I did our drop links very recently, as it too sounded like the proverbial sack of spanners on only slightly uneven ground. One side had, by the time I could bring myself to get under it, ripped out of the shock mount, fallen down, and been bent like a half U by severe mechanical forces! So when turning in one direction it touched the inside of the wheel and made a hell of a horrible sound! That got my attention I can tell you! So it might not be quite as bad as you first think! Does it grind when turning the steering when stood still? That would be a duff top bearing usually.
  17. Hi There! Yep - first get hold of a second hand fob, I got mine off ebay, albeit about 6 years ago. Then - or search for and speak to them and book them before - get a good auto locksmith to pop along and cut you a new key, with a new transponder, he will simply programme that in, absolute doddle for them that part. The slightly more tricky part will be coding the "new" fob to the car. A pin code number was needed on ours, that we didn't have in our books. But of course Chrysler have beggered off out of the UK so it might be less easy than it was. Or the locksmith will know a way round it. But do not believe anyone if they say you need a brand new fob. You don't. Or that it can't be done. YES IT CAN. If they can't do it, someone will be able to. Like the analogy of a puncture repair at tyre shops - "It's too close to the edge we can't repair it" As in "THEY" can't, but IT can. Because it could be Vulcanised but very few have the skills or equipment. Good luck!
  18. The world's gone blooming bananas on everything. The Baxi boiler I frequently fit has gone from a grand to £1320 in less than 2 years. Disgusting. How the heck can any normal person survive this? It's sad on the car, but I also think ours may not be too long for this world. Its got several tinkling clanking noises, and a very rusty suspension top mount under the bonnet. And I'm not very inclined to tackle a oair of front struts. They're only 6 years old anyway, brand new complete units. Humbug. And an exhaust blow, again, and it's still drinking coolant. Hey ho.
  19. Ooh heck that's not at all cheap!!!!!! They've gone up dramatically since I did mine a few years ago, including shipping from the States, from Rockauto, was around £80 I think I remember.
  20. hi @wherry did you get anywhere with solving this problem?
  21. OOH NOW - how cheaply could you pick up a shift solenoid pack while you're there????? Part Number - 05015646AB
