Hi all, Just picked up my 2003 2.5 Grand Voyager today, loving it, I think it drives very nicely. I will be using it for a house move, and then general workies van as I do the house renovation.
Everything seems to work, except the thermostat seems to be stuck open, runs very cool, but no matter, I have a thermostat to fit in the top hose!

I have been doing a lot of browsing, so I know about the turning the light dimmer to off to stop the battery discharging. The thermostat tip is worth its weight in gold, very glad I found this site!
Cheers, Ian

 

Welcome to the site! Glad to have you here. Congrats on your purchase, share with us some pictures when you can. You'll find just about anything you might have questions about there. Enjoy your new ride!

 

My first one was a 2002 with a towbar. Between the seats out and a 6x4 trailer, 2 runs moved a 2 bed flat.
I've recently bought a stow and go one, fitted a top hose thermostat today and it's now warming up lovely.
If you have a multimeter, check the altenator charging voltage. If thats low, theres a fix for that too (the discharge issue).
Welcome to the site.

 

Thank you for the welcome, i added the 2nd thermostat today, bit of a push to get it in there, but warmed the hose up with a heat gun and used some silicon grease.
Ran it for a bit to check the coolant level, got up to just over the 1/4 mark
on the temp. gauge, which it hasn't done before, so looking good.
A great tip!

 

I checked the battery voltage with the engine running and the headlights on, 14.2 I think it was, so that seems ok.
I need an interior rear view mirror next, mine is missing for some reason, replaced by a poor small thing
