  1. Sorry, I have been away for a while. I installed a scrap gearbox @£1400 inc fitting as opposed to £8000 +fitting+20%vat which is about £11000. Absolute rip off.
  2. I have a UK 2.0 diesel with a faulty (thinks) gearbox. Its a 6 speed auto with 2 clutches. I have been having increasingly intermittent problems ranging from faulure to rev when comming out of neutral into forward or reverse to Limp mode giving 2nd/rev only. My local garage has tested and said its showing an internal controller fault. Does this mean its the TCM. If so am trying to souce a TCM at a price a lot less than the £2k+ the dealer wants + fitting. They want £8k for a gearbox. Any help would be appreciated from sourcing a new TCM/second hand auto box or help from Chrysler UK given its only 3 months out of warranty and only covered 56k miles. John
  3. Hi, Had my letter re air bag warning recall this week. Had problems before with passenger (LHS/UK) window stuck down and dealer said it was a broken wire in the drivers door(RHS/UK). Last week had problems with central locking not working on remote or door switches, then next minute all ok and for the last week as well. Now the recall. Anyone know if all the above is related to the door wiring harness and the likyhood of fixing all the above.
  4. 32K miles and second set of front pads still ok and rears are original. But vibration now set in so ordered - 1 set front disks EBC GD7442 (£120.98) premium quality dimpled and slotted sport + 1 set front pads EBC DP61798 (£61.74) upgraded greenstuff. Edit, just fitted the above today and vibration mainly gone. still bedding in < 20 miles. Easy to fit, apart from disks stuck on and needed some welly to get off.
  5. Hi, I have had this several times before on my deisel automatic. key needs to come out in park but if I go into park too quickly it won't come out. So I put in neutral rev once them go to park and it comes out. ????????????????????????
  6. Black SXT 2.0 Diesel, sat nav 7 seats £15k reduced from £23k 09 plate made in 08 inc all taxes
  7. I have the light on only twice and the reason being a flat battery. It took a few miles (<20) of driving before it went out on its own. Maybe this was after the canbus adjusted itself after false default settings. Book says if its a constant light it may be ok but if its flashing do not drive as it may damage the exhaust system. John
  8. My journey is one yr old tomorrow, done 22k miles, original pads and disks though I am thinking of replacing soon with UK spec disks and pads. No brake judder ever, though the usual black stuff alll over hence UK spec next. I do tow a rib boat and horses as well but am not into severe braking, speed possibly but not braking.
  9. I pull a horse trailer @850Kg + horse @500Kg no problem. Its a good job the car is rated @1360Kg. Its the same 2.0 diesel as wolf but I think the 2.4 petrol is rated a little less but should be no problem at all. I have a USA 7 pin wiring kit for sale that I purchased in error I have since fitted a UK 13pin socket.
  10. Hi Stoogie, Radio outage happend to me twice. 1st time out for 24 hrs. Second time I took advice from another Journey user and pulled out the 'big' fuse and replaced after 1 min. It does not actiually come out just up a bit.That fixed it. Go to http://www.mofv.com/mygig/ to get UK journey gracenotes 1289. I have installed this and its fine but still get lots of CD's not recognised. Cheers.

  13. Hi Guys, Nice to know there ias a fix as mine has gone off several times, mostly at 3am, but also during the day. I think they were all false alarms and I did not know it could be disabled but did here the beep and wondered what that was. My dealer has lost the dealership and I will wait until a new dealer is in place as the nearest is some 20 miles away. Might wait now until the 1st service at 12K, its done 5k now. John
  14. Same thing for me. Dealer said it happens a lot. He just took the torch apart and adjusted contacts. No other work needed.
