Just a quick update. I contacted the seller via Alibaba that Chris.ac kindly sent us all a link to. They were really friendly and helpful. They actually sent me a link to a similar module and advised that this came with the required wiring harness/plugs ready to connect up to my 2011 Alphard. They also advised that they don't actually support/sell the touch screen connector only the knob/toggle wheel; as they said customers were struggling to install it and therefore it was very time consuming for them to have to try to advise on how to install this. As I want to be able to use it via the touchscreen, they sent me a document with instructions on how to install the ribbon cable for me to take a look at and see if I was happy to try to install it and said they would send me the connector/ribbon cable assembly if I wanted. I also asked if they would send me the knob/toggle wheel assembly just to have as a backup in case I was unable to install the touchscreen ribbon cable assembly, which they kindly did. I received the package in good time and now have the head unit removed from the car. The instructions sent to install the ribbon cable don't actually show you how to split the touchscreen and it is showing a different model head unit. So I currently have the head unit/screen removed from the car but I am stuck on what I have to do next in order to remove the screen from the unit and what screws to remove to split it. I just wondered if I post some pictures, whether you may have any advice you could offer Chris? If so it would be much appreciated. Thanks once again for everyones help and hopefully this will help others too.

Strange I never seen a bleeder valve apart from the one at the bottom of the radiator as cluta says just top up the header tank

Hi Jules, There’s a small plastic header tank on my 2002 2.4 Alphard, that’s where I check my coolant level. So far I’ve never had level issues.

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

I have seen and spoke to a guy who has the 7seater vellfire, and yes he has turned his middle seats around by unbolting them, but he said that they didn't slide so unless anyone knows how to slide the seats when turned they won't be able to use them as a bed, but they definitely can face backwards Martin
