  1. I bought the ipod / phone to AV lead from ebay, £1.29!!!!!! And it works - so far hey! Yes, including an envelope and delivery!
  2. Only a guess but have you put the key in the ignition and let it recognise it?
  3. If the selector is on windscreen, as it is on your photo, or foot + windscreen, the system will switch the AC on as it thinks you want to demist the screen. Turn it further round to say face and foot vents, and it should click out the AC. If it all goes off when you turn the climate power off then all's good. But there is another problem that occasionally occurs. The fan auto speed reg packs up so the fan is on full with no control, and when you switch off the fan stays on full and goes into recirc mode.
  4. Hub bearings? When it was all in bits and wheels off were they difficult to turn?
  5. It's sadly possibly that the calipers just didn't like being pushed back home that far, and the internal seal could be causing the mither as you say you lubed them up. I got a seal (2) / piston kit but I've not had time to do the job yet. I swapped the caliper last time for speed as I didn't have much spare time at all, and this is I hope prevenatative. Depends how handy you are but shouldn't be a nightmare to do, however have you checked ebay for calipers as I think I saw them for around £80? Yep - just checked again and a pair can be had for £140 - the PAIR. from a seller called jeep-chrysler
  6. Hi guys, When I tried my Mrs ipod in the AV inputs it played video to the overhead screen and sound all round! Sorry for the mini hijack but how is your engine doing @@andyb2000 ?
  7. Nope, but some weeks you'd be forgiven for thinking that the 2008 boxy shape wasn't quite as popular with owners as Chrysler hoped, due to the lack of activity on the 2008 on section of the forum........ If you fancy a laugh read up on the "idiosyncrasies", some may say problems, of the previous model years....... My tax on my LPG converted 3.3 V6 gets big discount (not really) down to "only" £270
  8. The IOD fuse is for the Body Control Module and various other things. It's been on very recently so worth a look back on recent posts but I think you need to check this one for draw only after at least 15 minutes of key out and exit the car, it monitors for internal lights, door closers and other bits for a while before going to standby mode.
  9. The part number would seem to be YY23BD1AA. Try a main dealer, they should be about £6 to £8 each. Or if a few of you got together we could get them from moparwholsaleparts.com in the States, just had a quick work out and even with delivery they would be around £8 each based on 4.
  10. Hmmm, my 2005 facelift doesn't, but the 2002 does. Different roof vents too.
  11. Not so much on the newer version hey! Prolific on the olders though!
  12. Hey up fella, blooming heck you've had a ruddy tough introduction matey! My first one barely gave me a peep of trouble for 4 years. Then it became a git and is still stood at the drive behind my van a year on!!!!! Yeah I agree on the tyres, scary as hell what some people think (or don't think actually) is fine. If you have round front fog lights it's a facelift. I am guessing it has to be because you mention about stowing the seat, which makes it a Stow n Go version. Only in facelift. To tighten the spare, if you've not found it there is a nut under the rubber floor cover at the front of the floor console next to the (usually pooe) handbrake. Petrol or diesel? You do have to really like them to put up with them don't you! I've not driven ours for a few weeks as it's been getting some repairs and plenty of (Ihope) preventative bits on the suspension, but today went out for a 110 mile round trip with my 2 girls to meet other family. Our 2007 Galaxy is nice, but this was effortless, mega smooth 1st class comfort travel. And I like the line about the taxman with a torch!! When I was a kid it used to be "some bugger with more work".
  13. Hi there Chilli ! Oh no you are not alone!........... I hope I can answer a couple of your points The sliding door tracks are quite hard to find, I've just been through it with mine after my electrical soldering skills were tested and failed. Twice. If yours is the facelift model, there is an extra crash sensor on this loom, located at the back of the door opening, green flat ish plastic, so the earlier loom won't do the job. I bought a new one from the US, from moparwholesaleparts.com but remember it's either a Town and Country or Dodge Grand Caravan on there. The bad news is they are around the £100 mark each. On the central locking it's most likely the actuator, ebay, from China, I believe the record is under a tenner. Not sure on the radio one, but starting and spluttering if it's diesel may be linked to a faulty fuel pressure / non return valve on the rail. Not quite holding enough fuel pressure to keep it going first try. Battery / amp etc unreliable - it's a Yank Tank......... The dials sweeping are an pointer to a low battery charge. Satnav - no idea I don't have the discs, someone said recently there is an updated one, but I'd feel a stand alone unit would be a better bet now. They are a heavy bus, so at 12 years old it isn't impossible the front shocks have had enough. The rear shocks will be much larger diameter than a standard unit if they are the "nivomat" self leveling ones. If you can see a yellow sticker with "Sachs" made in Germany on it and a part number 04743234AA then they should be. Good luck mate, they are a fantastic bus if a little bit of a pain in the toolbox.
  14. Excellent! My usual experience with O rings (on water) is somewhat less positive normally!

    No worries mate. And there are quite a few of us on here who are pretty good at fixing them. And some are more adventurous than me!
  16. Hi there! Only a suggestion - don't do it - heading for major headache and heartache, they are a nightmare because of the amplifier and speaker system. If you have the AV plugs on the front of the DVD player I would suggest a lead adapter to this. I know some of our other guys will chip in now, and plenty of them are better than me on some of this stuff! They have more time and perseverance than I do nowadays.
  17. Hi pal and welcome. Nope you're not being thick, I tried it too, they are weird in that the bench seat will fold flat backwards, but not forwards!!! But I am sure I saw a photo of one perhaps on autotrader that was folded forward, or maybe i dreamed it......

  19. Hi there! It's done with the functions on the overhead display at the front. I can't remember accurately but go into the menu, go along till you get to service interval, then reset to another km / mile range, if you have a handbook it's in there somewhere (probably I think!!!)
  20. Hi pal, there should be no problem at all with welding a patch on the outside of the cover, so don't panic!
  21. Hi there and welcome! I suggest you post this in vehicle help, not personally had problems with the fronts (yet) but the rears are commonplace.
