Big Brake Kits?
I'm finding my 2010 GGH25 a bit under-braked, can anyone recommend a brake upgrade that won't break the bank? I have looked at Brembo kits and the other big brands but don't really want to spend £2500 + just for the front. EBC do four new discs and pads for under £400 but I would like to upgrade the calipers ideally. Any suggestions/recommendations?

Vellfire advise
CraigA ·Hi, I'm looking to buy a Vellfire and would appreciate some advise please. I have aspirations of doing the North Coast 500 next year and plan to sleep in the Vellfire. So my question is can the seats in a 7 seater be made into a bed (for 2 people), or is it only the 8 seater models? Are there any major differences between the two (7 and 8 seater) apart from the extra seat. As I'll be doing the NC500 should I consider a 4wd model. Any idea what the average -

Hello
7VV47 ·Hi all, My names Alex. I have already made use of your collective knowledge, so I would like to start with a general “Thank You”. A quick bit of background is that my partner and I spent a couple of years living/travelling in a lwb transit, then the pandemic hit and we had to get foundations. We were left with a travel bug so we bought an Alphard about 10 months ago with the aim of converting it into a day van (original idea, I know!). As well as wanting to convert it I want to look after it.

Vellfire advise
OMG Craig, this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of bed layout potential without extracting seats. Do you know the length of space left from the top of the seat to the back door? This is where most stuff will be placed when "bed mode" is active. How much space is left under the backrest, will probably need to put stuff there also. Thanks a million for your reply in advance, this 8 seater is definitely what I'm looking for now. J

What's the length from the kitchen to the back of the front seats? I'm 6 foot and need leg room! Thanks

Hello
Do you have a pic of the bed arrangement please? I'm thinking of bed setups without permanent conversions. Thanks!

Advice please for newbies to campervans and Toyota
I'm looking to buy a seven or 8 seater to sleep and camp with, I was originally thinking of removing the middle row and sleeping on the floor but seems a faf to remove and put back in. I have seen the 8 seater seats laid flat as a continuous bed(albeit lumpy) to then put a mattress on. I like your sheet separator idea with extraction for using the rear as a change room/toilet with extractor. Would love a picture please, I'll be taking a portable toilet also and keeping the third row up on the sides until it's bed time as mentioned above, hopefully finding place for all the stuff under and behind the seats. Attached a pic from another post of the bed layout.

2003 AH10 3.0l V6 Throttle Body
Thanks for the advice (apologies for the tardy response/update) ODB scan simply said weak mixture on Bank 1. After a little help from a friendly AI bot I tried cleaning the mass air flow sensor and ran a tank full of injector cleaner through it - problem solved!! Most likely a spec of dirt or something in one of the injectors I think. All now seems well and the pterol consumption has returned to normal too :-)
