Hi I’m Adi from West Norfolk Just put a deposit down on our first Alphard. It’s a 2.4L petrol from Andy’s Imports. Should have it in a week or two and will no doubt be scouring these pages for info. All the best

Hi all, I have a 2007 Alphard without wind deflectors. I really want to fit the genuine toyota ones to the van, but I can't find any right now, they seem to be like hen's teeth. I did manage to find a listing on eBay a few weeks ago, all 4 for 55 inc postage, which was an absolute steal. Well, unfortunately Royal Mail managed to snap two of them in transit, so now i'm absolutely gutted in all honesty - 20 year old items shipped in a bin bag was just asking for trouble. Anyway, if anyone has a

Hi, a recent battery swap has the engine and VSC lights on. (2011 2,4L) lots on the net about this as a common fault on a swap. I have tried the disconnect negative battery lead trick = no good I have tried wheels left / right /straight on trick = no good I tried my launch crp123x despite having a sub menu with an Alphard reset - that didnt work. So I need a better diag' tool and pondering which one, tempted with an " icarsoft jp v3" or maybe up the anti to a "cr max " to maybe deal with

Toyota said thenoise on my brake pedal is due to a faulty ABS pump. They said it would take around 5 hours to replace it with a second hand unit I got from Nippon Auto's. does anyone know if tha't correct the length of time involved? looking on you tube it says all you need to do is disconnect battery first then disconnect the electrical plug undo the pipe lines on the ABS unit and then unbolt from the body and replace the unit connecting the pipes back in and electrical connection.

This came up in my saved searches feed: https://www.i-bidder.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/anglia-car-auctions/catalogue-id-anglia1-10091/lot-8940b52d-996c-4956-a4e3-b4a600fe3efa Anglia Car Auctions are usually more of a 'budget' car auction (I'd guess average age about 10 years old) and imports don't tend to come up very often, so perhaps the usual dealers won't be interested? Recently there was an Estima that went through for £2800 which was good value, so this could be a bargain for someone?

Hi @Gamith Thanks for your kind help. I was ideally wanting to keep the alphard toyota parts only. Not too sure how good these aftermarket options are - Anyone have experience of them? I see there's one good review on the Amazon listing, so I may give those a go...

Amazon seem to have a few: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=toyota+alphard+wind+deflectors&rh=p_n_g-101015610657111%3A100850145031&dc=&gb=2&hvexpln=0&hvocijid=11923901335076942944--&hvqmt=e&mcid=fed1ebe34d073e6a960af0c2347c1c4e&rnid=100850125031&tag=mh0a9-21&ds=v1%3ABMKzTS%2Bkt2Tmu7m6RWfL4EBir4CF8%2Bh2Uwga0w50ZR0 As do Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-alphard-wind-deflectors.html Obviously check any of them to make sure they are right for your vehicle. Or there are always scrappies, if you can find any near you. I hope this helps.

Now I'm at a computer, a few more links: Random Aliexpress seller of the dongle (or search for Tactrix and pick one with a clear plug with gold pins) Tactrix Openport v2.0 drivers Techstream v18 download (don't run the 'patch') VM with Techstream preinstalled, see IH8MUD forum posting above. When I installed Techstream I set the region to 'Japan' (you can keep it in English) so it can talk to Japanese vehicles.

Thanks Ted, very comprehensive, though I might need one of the kids to go through it with me:)
