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.

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

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!

Anyone can help with ecu pin out?

Hey @smurf pls can you send me a link? Thanks!

Toyota Vellfire 20 Series Workshop Manual in English? Hi everyone! 😊 I'm looking for an English version of the Toyota Vellfire workshop manual for my 2014 3.5 V6 (GGH20W). I've seen references to an English workshop manual online, but I haven't managed to find a copy yet. Does anyone here have one, or know where I could get hold of one? I'd mainly like to use it for maintenance and repairs, so having the proper workshop manual with technical information, procedures and specifications would be really useful. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance, and greetings from France! POOV
