  1. It has been a while since I needed to use Techstream, but I think if you go to System select or stored date where the code has been flagged up. Double click on the code which should open another page with the data, in the header or first line in the data list hopefully will be a three digit number. This goes with the main code P3125- xxx to give the cause of the fault, there are about 100 sub codes!!
  2. Hi, I took my 2003 Hybrid Alphard to Hybrid Battery Repair (https://hybridbatteryrepair.co.uk/) in Glasgow. Fraser Campbell runs it, and he would be a great person to take your car to and have him assess what's going on. He has a very in depth computer analysis tool that would very likely be able to highlight what the issue is. As a side note, I found Fraser to be very honest, friendly, and very knowledgable on the Alphard Hybrid systems. So, if you are able to get to Glasgow, he would be a great resource. He definitely won't try and sell you something you don't need, so you can ask him for his opinion and advice, without concern that he would try and take advantage of you. Hope this helps!
  3. The "catalytic converter" warning light is actually an overheat warning for the front or rear motor, or inverter. Once that clears, cooled down, the hybrid warning might stay on for a couple of short trips before resetting itself. The pump runs with just the ignition on, which makes it easier to hear it running .
  4. I’ve just been sitting on this rust conversion primer solution to make sure it was decent. Tested on a rusty rear metal on the subframe. It performed superbly with just a layer of Matt black paint - 2 months on, enough confidence to underseal over it. The product is from carbusonic. Treating rust on rear subframe . Easy with Carbusonic rust converter primer.

  6. Hi all. Sorry for the late reply. I have fitted this unit. I had the phones in the holder before and found that cumbersome. Uncoupling it every time I left the car and vice versa. Also it was too small to operate safely in the fly. This unit is a godsend. In originally had it mounted on the drivers side dashboard. It’s an accident waiting to happen. I’ve moved it away from the screen to near the passengers right knee is. Easy to access but not tempting to look at. Voice commands are easy to listen to. I use bbc sounds for my radio. There is no delay on the unit itself. It reacts fast. Pretty sure this has an aux output. Car stereo wheel controls work. Hope this helps.
