The Chrysler is probably a nice motor but alot depends on what you want to spend if you find a decent Sharan,Alhambra or Galaxy for a grand their really good value  :smiley:

Possible it came up as a 1999 as that was the year it was writ off and re-registered  :undecided:

Chrysler Voyager.



jeees they are horrid

In your opinion maybe.

So comfortable, so nippy for something that big, so well built until you get past the front seats, then it's just mank. The dash and doors at the front are solid, back for some reason not so much.

Got a 1997. Still passes MOT's and is such a lovely car to be in in a journey.

Don't knock it 'til you've lived with one. Such a cruiser.

Where all my moneys went.

Nawt uncomfortable with my Shalaxy 6 seater. Every seat has arm rests, it's like being in first class on a flight  :cool:

Mucho's better than a Zafira and it's bench seating  :sick:

Thought I would use this thread to ask the question hopefully Wayne might spot it or someone who knows  :grin:
Ive got a 1999 seat Alhambra 1.9tdi which ive been doing up for my mrs to use when I bought the car I only had one key which isnt a remote one and to gain access I have to put the key in the door.My other Alambra which is the same car just a petrol has the remote to access the doors.Anyway Ive bought the remote key with the transponder inbuilt etc which ive pictured below im just hoping it can be programed to open the doors on my tdi or is it not possible I know its not a sharan but its exactlly the same car just different badge with the vw engine etc.

The process for the Sharan/Alhambra/Galaxy are the same.

Does it look the same as the original key? A '99 is a MK1, so unless late MK1's had the same fobs as MK2's it won't work with that one. That looks like my key and I have a MK2  :undecided:

Having had the mis-fortune to drive my brother's 07 Sharan and a couple of other POS Sharalaxambras I can thoroughly (sorry Jay) slate these bloody things.

They're way too narrow and high up.

Get a T4 or T5 Caravelle instead - now that's a proper people carrier.  The T5s are especially awesome, as the middle row of seats can be rotated to face the rears and they have four ISOFix mounts in the back.  :cool:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

No worries fella, when I got my Galaxy the remote c/l didn't work, followed the guide and had it working in 2 shakes of a lamb tail  :cool:

There are loads of other guides on that site too btw It's like the GGTI for Shalaxies  :grin:

Each to their own and all that  :smiley: sod the bench seats, proper seats all round with arm rests FTW and the El Capitano's chair for moi  , it's all just extra head room with the height of the car

and the missus would let me get a T anyway, said they look too much like vans  :grin:
