Well done on the fixing and your gonna need LPG, these drink like George Best on a bender! (about 23mpg at best)

Pity its the pre 2001 model (which is a bit shite) but I am sure it will serve you well :y

Drove a 3.8 one of these across Canada. The brakes work well when you clench your buttocks during application, as I did :-[. I really didn't fancy hitting that Moose. :o

I love the grand voyagers. Yes they're like big buses, but i was pootling around in one in florida. nice long straight roads (no potholes), relaxed driving, windows up, air con on, brilliant. I'd have one. :y Engine gutless though I think, 3.3.

The 3.8 was no ball of fire either. IIRC it was about 160-170 BHP.  ;D

I had a Grand Voyager about 12 years ago in that purple colour they did which was distinctly like a certain part of a chap's anatomy.  It had very single option, the ICE was belting and the captain's chairs were so comfy.  Thankfully it was a company motor so I also had a fuel card to go with it as the gauge went down faster than a ladyboy given a big tip.  :o

I was rather partial to that motor. Truth be known it didn't really go, steer or stop very well, but it was dead comfy and a bit of a hoot to punt round in.
