Parts are, on the whole, readily available as long as you have the right part number(s). I use amayama.com as it is a good source of info - put in your model number and then you will get the correct numbers. Then look on ebay, autodoc or similar. Its worth noting the amayama price though as sometimes they can be cheaper - though they will take longer to get to you.

Hi Paul - I seem to be about half a dozen miles away from you. Thanks for the information about the Toyota dealership. Initially, I'm inclined to see if my local independent mechanic will change the brake fluid and check the pads/discs/brake pipes (he's ex-Toyota and trustworthy). I'm pretty sure I can get the parts from Ebay quite cheaply.

Hi Gary, I am in Stevenage, where I know there is at least another owner - a black Vellfire I think. Whereabouts in Herts are you? I have approached the Toyota dealership in Letchworth and they seem fine with doing services at least on a 2005 Alphard.

Campal Camping Module for Toyota Alphard. (Please note: the fitted photos are for a Citroën Berlingo) This is a fully removable, custom-fit camper conversion unit for the Toyota Alphard without requiring any permanent vehicle modifications. Key Details of Campal Alphard Kits Design & Build: Handcrafted by UK-based Campal from 100% CNC-machined birch plywood. Installation: Units install or remove in 3 to 4 minutes using existing anchor points with no drilling required. Configuration: Custom-built to fit the boot space and interior layout of MPVs like the Alphard and Toyota Vellfire, often allowing owners to remove rear seats and use a bespoke camping/kitchen box setup. Features: Includes pull-out kitchen drawers, space for portable power packs or fridges, and washable foam cushions. The camping unit has been used on a number of week end away trips and found to be adaptable and comfortable. It has been most used on day trips to the beach, South Downs and New Forest were it has been ideal, it is in immaculate condition with a few minor modifications for ease of use. Unfortunately, due to a sad change in family circumstance this unit is now surplice to requirements. This unit is for sale at £720.00 or best offer; buyer be aware this is a collect only unit, by arrangement and will require a suitable van to transport and persons to lift and shift (original sale price £1480.00). For the Alphard the rear fold to the side seats (6 and 7) are removed, simple fixing to slide mechanism and seat belts. Camping module slides into position to allow tailgate to shut and is clamped into position using soft head screw clamps against the inner wheel arches. o set up the bed the middle seats (3, 4 and 5) are rotated to face the rear and laid flat to support the bed base and mattress (high-quality MDPE with water resistant covers).
