Can anyone recommend a good quality rear facing dash cam? I want to replace my interior view mirror with a screen that continuously projects the rear facing dash cam image. There are various products on the market retailing for around £150 but user reviews are very mixed. Does anyone have actual experience of using this type of camera?

Hi, this warning light (red car outline with exclamation mark through it, bottom right of display) has come on along with others (VSC , brake warning & Catalytic converter) which have now cleared, it was a very hot day. The red car remains on & I have lost all hybrid function ie seemingly no hybrid assist or regen braking; no energy flow arrows; no air con etc. Im wondering if it's related to the inverter coolant system, & wanted to check the coolant header, which is described as be

Hi again!, Not sure if this is referred to as the tailgate seal but anyway it's coming away and perishing further along. Can anyone recommend the replacement seal I need for this?. (AH10 2.4).And whether it's an easy job! These photos may make it clearer. DaveoIMG_7244.HEIC.pdfIMG_7243.HEIC.pdf

Anyone replaced thermostat and had problems getting the air out? Noticed my fans turn on to high speed for the first time ever. Pulled over and temperature via obd had reached 102c Nice hot air coming from both front and rear heaters, so pump is working. Checked for leaks around pump, nothing, and no signs of any crusty coolant deposits. Left it to cool down, topped up coolant as it had reduced below low mark. Both outlet and inlet hoses were cold Took 2 hours to get the thermostat off. The

The Toyota diagram ref is 16290A - PUMP ASSY, WATER W/MOTOR & BRACKET There are several part no.s as they kept changing them for the same part and updating the part nos. You can usually get them on Ebay. These are the numbers from Amayama. Toyota Alphard Parts - Toyota Car and Auto Spare Parts Online - Genuine Online Car Parts Catalogue - Amayama G9020 58010 /58011/ 58012. However I ended up with a spare one after the post office cocked up my delivery and this is G9020 28022 (see pics) Double check your vehicle against any you see for sale.

Wow, I was just coming on here because I have the exact same problem! @PaulE do you know the official part name for the pump? Is it this by chance?

Easy easy to check. Does your rear wiper sit under the roof spoiler? 20 series. Does it attach to the tailgate below the glass? 10 series.

For the alphard 2gr, you have to bleed it with the coolant system closed and pressurised. Open bleed valve on top of engine block, to up coolant into expansion bottle until you see coolant come out of bleed valve. Close bleed valve. Fill coolant to the upper B-line marked on expansion tank ( the left side of tank looking grim front of engine) Seal the cap on expansion tank. Start engine and run it at 2500 RPM until you see coolant start to enter the top of the tank. You will see bubbles, keep the engine running at that speed until the coolant turns from cloudy back to red. Done. Switch off. Leave to fully cool down, check if coolant is between the full and low mark, top up to between these marks if necessary. If coolant has dropped below the low mark, repeat.
