The 10 series hybrid is quite a bit different from both a regular automatic gearbox, and from other Toyota hybrids - this describes the system: https://toyota-club.net/files/faq/21-11-20_faq_hybrid_thsc_en.htm So anything you do is going to be specific to that, or the 2001-2005 Estima which shares the same setup. (although I don't know if there are parts differences between the two) I don't know if there's a gearbox service kit available or whether you have to buy individual parts. Amayama has the parts diagram but isn't showing a service kit: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/toyota-japan/alphard/ath10w/42993/chassis/3901?frame_no=ATH10-0024738 Perhaps you could show him that diagram and ask what parts to get? Edit: forgot to mention that the transmission is called the P210, under the THS-C (Toyota Hybrid System - CVT) banner. If I search on that I find somebody in Australia selling aftermarket service parts: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/hybrid-transmission/P210/ I wouldn't buy those, but it's a useful clue as to which parts to get from Toyota. As the THS-C uses a CVT belt, that would probably be on my list, as is the gasket, probably the seals and it'll need the right CVT fluid which is Toyota's TC transmission fluid. The garage should be able to confirm. If there is something actually damaged inside it, they don't show the breakdown of internal parts so it may not be possible to get them without taking them from a scrap unit or buying a new transmission (~$3000). But cross that bridge if you come to it.

Hello Rojie, brilliant thanks for info, appreciate it. The Vellfire is at TCS Honiton at the moment and they are very very good. But it’s definitely worth knowing there is somewhere nearer to me (it’s a bit of a trek to Honiton) Thanks again I’m in Brixham

Try VMS. Near South Devon College They do my MOTs. Snows in Paignton would work on Alhies but has closed. Their 'sister' locations in in Plymouth and Exeter probably will. ps. I am at Churston.

Update I've been advised to talk to Richard at CAMS in Potters Bar as they are the most local expert in this area. Anyone had any dealings with them? I spoke on the phone to Richard who seems to know what he's doing. He asked me to find a Gearbox service kit which I should be able to find online. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea where to start with this. Does anyone have any trusted places to source this kind of thing? There seem to be various versions but can't find one that explicitly states that it is for a hybrid. Pardon my ignorance but does it matter if it is one for a 2.4 petrol alphard? Some seem to have a filter and some don't. I've attached the VIN plate to help identify the version if that helps.

Hi, what length rail is it please?
