Hi I’ve recently removed my rear conversion from my 2006 Alphard . Reason being we bought a Rhodesian Ridgeback and quickly realised the old set up did not work !

It has everything you need to turn van into camper Units Cushions Sink Dometic sink / cooker Waste fresh water tanks 2 gas bottles Table Control unit for electrics If anyone interested I can uploads pic

Hi there, I need to top up the coolant in my 2007 2.4 Alphard and on the reservoir cap it says I need to open the air bleeder valve on the side of the radiator when I do this. Anyone know where to find it (I assume it is not just the other cap coming off the radiator hose)? Thanks a lot. Jules

Hi I have looked through the forum for posts on this. There are some really good posts with some technical answers and due to my lack of knowledge I haven't been able to answer my question! I am due to shortly pick up my 2011 Toyota Alphard 350S Prime Selection 2 Type Gold, not sure if any of that trim matters in relation to the question. I don't think it does as I think it has the 8" Toyota Original Head unit, I'll attach a picture. The dealer I am purchasing from said they are going to get a

I noted on the first edition, the seats could be rotated, this facility has been removed on the second edition. However on the non-electrical 7 seater, is it possible to remove the seats and place them back in reverse so all four passenger seats face each other, they share the same rails and I could do this on an Espace I used to have.

These are the connectors that my previous head unit was using and I can't help but feel it could do better. The new head unit works well, I have set up the steering wheel controls and a USB microSD card reader is on it's way so I can add a load of music to it (and not have it playing off my phone all the time). With the replacement head unit I also got this additional connector set: The car (2005 facelift) has these additional connectors (sorry it's not the clearest): So my question is whe

No interest in this at all ? I am open to offers , it’s taking up too much room in my garage 😵 Only thing that is required is a leisure battery , everything else is included . Thanks

Ah yes, that could be the actual meaning! I'll try to remember to take a look at what ours says tonight!

I'm taking it that "refilling the coolant" on that sticker really means flushing the radiator, not just doing a coolant top up - hence the need to open the air bleed valve??

Hi Nev, Thanks a lot - yep the hose off the lid of the expansion tank just routes down below the radiator and then ends - basically like an overflow. The other hose which comes off the radiator cap (with the red sticker in the engine bay pic) goes into the bottom of the expansion tank, so what you are saying totally makes sense. Cheers.

Ah, so then, Does the hose from the radiator go to a connection on the expansion tank? And the other hose off the lid of the expansion tank allows extreme excess to drip out to the floor? I'm surmising, but the instructions may mean to remove the radiator cap, to fill the radiator, then put the expansion tank coolant level to the correct point. Unless there's something not shown in those photos at the back of the rad? Because the expansion tank can be OK with a shortage of coolant in the radiator. Anyone else have something I've not thought of? Cheers, Nev
