  1. There is no such thing as a 2010 hybrid. They stopped making the hybrids when the mk2 was released and didn't start again until 2012. I have a 2012 hybrid with 195,000km on the clock and i still get a win from the battery. Usually make between 35 and 40mpg on a long distance motorway cruise. Sub 50K sounds like its reclocked to me though ... I would definitely check into that. I bought mine with 80K miles (130K km) in 2023 .
  2. Hi, has anyone got a clue where I can get wheel nut for a 2007 Alphard 2.3l ? thanks in advance
  3. Morning. Getting ready for first trip abroad for a few days away. Gone from a Bongo to our Alphard and loving it..does different! We have a spoiler on the back and bit worried about the weight of bikes pushing down and breaking it. Our current rack does fit but pushing abit on the spoiler. Can anyone recommend anything? Thanks in advance
  4. I haven't specifically looked there yet but I did notice last time I jacked it up that the mounts in the picture previously were nice and tight to the top mount cup when the car wasn't on the floor, I'm away for a few days now but once I'm back I'm planning on slapping a camera in the engine bay pointing at the passenger side top mount while I go over some bumps to see how much it moves.
  5. Ah okay, have you lifted it underside to see from the wheel arch?
  6. While it likely will need doing in the near future, the clunking i hear is distinctly from the left and right, if it was coming from the same place each time it would be more likely to be the steering damper, it does "clunk" when turning left and right, but only very slightly, I have one purchased already and ready to install when I get some good weather and some spare time, but I don't think the majority of the clunking I am hearing is from this (due to it being very clearly sided clunking) As its air suspension the top mounts are likely somewhat different to the stock struts, I stuck my phone in and took a picture, does this look right to you?, is it worth me trying to tighten the centre nut?, the overall condition of the air suspension units themselves (everything inside the wheel well) and the visual look of its rubber components look very new and in good overall condition. It's just the gap between this rubber and the metal cup that's throwing me. After some digging it looks a while lot like an OEM part bolted to the top of an air strut, I have proactively emailed BOLD WORLD with my shocks model and serial number to see if it is indeed an OEM top part, hopefully it is as with it being an air strut it should be fairly straight forward (and safe) to replace. As a side note, I thought the back bolt was loose, but inspecting it further, it just a different bolt from the others and is tight.
