There's a 12v battery positive terminal under the fuse box cover under the bonnet. It's under a red rubber cover in a black plastic fuse box. You first need to take off the grey 'Toyota hybrid' cover - pull out the right side to unlatch it then pull it towards you to release the two other push pins. Then you'll find the black fuse box underneath. Remove the lid to find the red terminal. That red terminal is where the positive wire of the charger goes, the negative goes to any exposed metal body part, eg screws. I'll try and post some pictures later ...

That's both incredibly useful information thank you very much.

Hi all, My Alphard was scheduled for a service at Toyota this morning but rather embarrassingly I had to cancel as it has a flat battery. I have no idea why it's flat, but that's for another time. How do I charge it? The manual (the red translated one) seems a little vague and I have no idea where to put the +/- clips from the charger. Thanks for any help.

There are a number on Alibaba too: https://www.alibaba.com/search/page?spm=a2700.product_home_fy25.home_login_first_screen_fy23_pc_search_bar.searchButton&SearchScene=proSearch&SearchText=88310-58011&pro=true&from=pcHomeContent eg: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Auto-6SEU16C-AC-Compressor-for-Toyota_1601943036211.html The deal on Alibaba is that you have to message the seller and ask for a shipping quote, so I wouldn't believe the prices they show until you have a firm all-in quote. It's better to buy from a seller with Trade Assurance as there's slightly less chance of them ripping you off (you don't get UK consumer protection although you may be able to use Section 75 - always pay on a credit card). When the parcel lands in the UK you'll have to pay a courier handling fee (£12.50 for Parcel Force), possibly a few percent import duty, and then 20% VAT on everything.

I found this one by entering the Toyota part number, but it is more expensive than just a few weeks ago. There may be cheaper ones on AliExpress, but I didn't go looking. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EIA2xkW

Hi, I had the PCT TY3565 towbar fitted to my 2006 Alphard 3years ago, it was supplied and fitted by a company in Lincolnshire while I waited. It included the towball and electrics with 13 pin socket which is located adjacent to the towball. I found a secondhand Witter 2bike rack on eBay. The rack includes tailboard, all lights and 13 pin plug hookup. With bikes mounted the rack can be lowered to ground level and allows the rear tailgate to be fully opened. Hope this helps
