  1. Do you know when the fuel filter was last changed? If a while ago, it may be restricted under load, if recently, it may be drawing air as it's not tight enough. Think yours is at the rear, next to the fuel tank. Unplug the wiring and check for damage as well, which might point to a crack in the housing, which will allow air into the fuel system. Remove the filter bowl as well, to check there's not two sealing o-rings in there too. Quick and easy check, if even just to discount it.

  2. Welcome to the site! Yes the pricing especially from dealers can be vastly ranging, seen some for ridiculous money because they had "low" mileage. We've had 3 and not seen any rot, but ours are all 2002 / 2005. All our we're petrol, on LPG, so not had many of the running problems of the diesels. I changed the wheels on 2 of ours, porous on one and scabby on the other!! Try the PCD checker website as a backup. Yep the central locking motors can be a problem, bu they cost pennies to fix. If your family is growing and you are using buggies - you WILL notice the difference to the Grand, our twins buggy wouldn't fit in the shorter Voyager with the rear seats slid to the back. Handbrake not holding - yes got that, so I park it in "Park" it clunks when i comes out on hills, other than that not a worry for me. In 12 months and 11,000 miles a set of new 18" Accelera 245 50 PHI R wore by 1mm on the back from 8mm centre 7mm outers. No they are not the same depth all the way across I measured brand new ones.The fronts were down to 2mm so I replaced them, for more Accelera's. Top front suspension mounts - yep fairly common, but is that because we talk about it and other car sites don't as it's an easier / less expensive fix so just gets done? Wiper stalk problems, I've had the indicator not self cancelling on one of our cars. Got a brand new pattern unit recently for £28.00, and 20 minute to replace it. No problems as yet! with the lights. They are super things to drive, we also now have a 2007 Ford Galaxy Ghia with loads of toys, panoramic roof etc, but the Grand Voyager is a much nicer "posher" car (and in petrol / LPG silky smooth), and he Ford is far from fault free!!!!
