I have a hybrid 2004/2005 Alphard. On the V5C Log book, it just says Petrol. Does not say Hybrid or Electric on the fuel type and has nothing where the CO2 emissions should be. Has anyone else overcome this problem, had their log book changed so the car is exempt from the ULEZ charge, as it should be.

By luck my neighbours car mechanic son was handy as I started to investigate a new (hopefully not death) rattle. ‘You’re not using the vehicle enough’ was his first comment as I let it idle to warm up, ‘the noise is from the dual mass flywheel’ ! An interesting explanation ensued & I admit I had used it less over last winter & spring. I’ve just read an excellent article from the RAC explaining what a DMF is for & how it does it. From now on the old girl will move more which is no har

Good morning all, A friend has just purchased a 2008 Alphard 3.0l which is fitted with a tow bar but the VIN plate doesn’t show the GTW. She’s contacted SV Tech who were mentioned in a previous post but they declined to help as it’s a Japanese import. Does anyone know of any other companies who can provide a re-plating service. Thanks, Alan

I know this is a long time after these posts, but I have received penalty charge notices for my 2003 petrol Alphard in London and Edinburgh (my own stupidity) and I have actually previously paid ULEZ in London. I now realise that this is all because the Alphard is pre-2006 and the V5C does not include any emissions data. Yet, I understand that my vehicle is at least Euro 4 and I have a French Crit Air sticker 1 issued by the French government which is apparently certifying the vehicle is Euro 6! So my vehicle is ULEZ/LEZ compliant, but the data relied upon by TFL/Edinburgh City Council is defective. I also have a stack of MOTs with the emissions data recorded, but I have no idea what this data evidences - presumably that it is ULEZ/LEZ compliant! Any thoughts on how to prove that I am at least Euro 4?

This example is now sold. Delivered to its new owner today.

That says it also fits the MCR30W and MCR40W versions of the Estima - that's 2000 to 2006. Maybe check eBay for Estima parts? Or look there for somebody breaking one and message them?

MAJOR CORRECTION 2.4 Auto DOES NOT HAVE A DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL Just back from MOT (success!) and mechanics explained why autos don’t have dual mass flywheels. My rattle appears to be in the area of pulleys for auxiliaries, ac, alternator etc. it’s only noticeable at engine start. Sadly it’s time is up for us, SWMBO demands a proper bed now for vacations. I must defer to her advancing years 😢😢😢
