New Member - Straight In With An Issue!

[PaulB]

Hello everyone!  Just picked up an 2007 Grand Voyager LX CRD Signature Series, and it's a lovely car.  Problem I have that since 2018 it's only done 4,000, and I've driven it about 60 miles since I picked it up.  Today it threw a PT0740 code, which on a cursory glance seems to be an inactive / sticking solenoid on the auto transmission, so I'm hoping a relatively easy fix.

I'm just wondering are there any other common issues to look out for (apart from the DVD screen not working)? I used to own a X-Type Jaguar, so I'm used to plenty of "common faults" popping up!!!

At 13 years old and 102K, you need to look out for any and everything electrical misbehaving typically the sliding Doors and flat battery/starting. Overheating and underheating/Thermostat issues are likely, and front ABS brake sensors seem venerable, otherwise its much the same as any thing else of that age and mileage. Unfortunately what's not gone wrong yet, will go wrong soon  , and if your not handy with spanners, it's going to cost dearly.

 

Mine's the same age, 20K more miles, and I've had it 6 years & 65K of relative great use out of it, but it has now reached the time when anything expensive going wrong will mean a sad trip to the knackers yard.

Much like any other car of this age / mileage then I suppose.  I'm in a band, so the stow n go seats where the attraction, it means I can take all the PA gear, amps and guitars and still have room for passengers, which is something I've never been able to do before.  Plus it'll be handy for family days out and weekends away.  

At least the DVD fix was cheap - new batteries in the remote control!
