  1. Hi, I had the PCT TY3565 towbar fitted to my 2006 Alphard 3years ago, it was supplied and fitted by a company in Lincolnshire while I waited. It included the towball and electrics with 13 pin socket which is located adjacent to the towball. I found a secondhand Witter 2bike rack on eBay. The rack includes tailboard, all lights and 13 pin plug hookup. With bikes mounted the rack can be lowered to ground level and allows the rear tailgate to be fully opened. Hope this helps
  2. My only bit of advice is that you may well need a towing towing board with the indicators on as the bikes may block peoples views of your lights. Do a search for 'Trailer Lighting Board' and you will see what I mean. For that you will need the correct socket fitted to the tow-bar and wired up of course. Depending on the bike holder of course as it's possible that your choice may come with one (i.e. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186953766202?toolid=20006&customid=d8060248dcab192c6bdd68906f30c7dc%7C%7C&loc_physical_ms=162565. There are some bike holders that pull out to make accessing the rear door easier. Search for 'Tilting and Folding Bike Rack' or there are some towbars that swivel out of the way, though getting one to fit an Alphard may not be possible. I hope this helps.
  3. Hi I am looking to install a towbar on my Series 10 2006 Alpard 3.0 ltr for the purposes of attaching a bike carrier, it won't be used for towing. I have found what seems to be the only one towbar available for the series 10 model which is available here - https://www.pctautomotive.com/towbars/info/all/toyota/alphard/mpv/2002-2007/TY3565/5719 Oddly, the same towbar by the same manufacturer also appears to on ebay https://ebay.io/m/3UJKnw for around half the price (?!) What I would like to know is - if I buy this, can I ask any towbar fitter to install ? Do I need to buy anything else or will the ebay kit be complete ? I have been quoted 250 quid to install if I buy the above. Do I need to worry about electric hookup or something like that? I have never installed or had a tow bar so I am on unfamiliar ground. Thank you in advance
  4. Evening everyone I am dealing with a very pernicious P0171 issue on our Alphy - been through heaps of diag and fired the parts cannon twice to no effect unfortunately! Wondering if anyone here with a healthy 2AZ (and scan tool!) could possibly tell me their typical peak MAF g/s on a WOT acceleration please, and what the reported lambda is at that peak MAF? Ours maxes out just shy of 100g/s with a lambda about 1.05~1.1. Just because I know someone will ask, fuel trims at idle are bang on 0%, but even a gentle load and they are off to the moon, 25%+. WOT is of course open loop so I'm ignoring the trims but alarmed by the lean condition. Thank you in advance!
  5. Anyone can help with ecu pin out?
  6. Hey @smurf pls can you send me a link? Thanks!
