Hey folks
Hey, fresh import owner here, 2010 Vellfire 2.4, my second import, first was a GT86 I brought with me when I moved back from Japan, owned a few bigger vehicles in Japan, Stepwagons, hiace etc, the kids getting bigger made the Q3 a bit useless space wise so last month picked up a freshly imported vellfire, loving it so far. Way slower than the Q3 but it hasn't bothered me in the slightest, would have gone with the 3.5 V6 but didn't want to deal with the higher fuel consumption. Has full air rid -
Avensis MK3 Wheel on a AH20 Vellfire
Just a quick one, The Vellfire I bought was in extremely good condition other than the steering wheel, which was really badly worn, I had a spare steering wheel off of a MK3 Avensis handy, but the connector type was different, and the mk3 avensis squib isn't compatible. If you disconnect the left hand switch bank from the original steering wheel, you'll note the connector is as follows: 1 - -DP (Black with white stripe) 2 - EAU (Pink or White) 3 - +DP (Yellow) 5 - AU2 (Light brown / Grey) 6 - -

Alphard hybrid-curious
Hi all, I've just joined the forum. I've been gradually disappearing down an Alphard rabbit-hole for my next car, having started at Estimas and then fallen down the slippery slope. I'm particularly interested in the hybrids - I'm an electrical engineer, already have a Prius and a Yaris Hybrid and have spent too long on PriusChat, so I'm fairly familiar with how the systems work and am interested in how it's been applied to the larger vehicles. Don't have a specific vehicle in mind yet, but le

Actually liking it so much im considering retiring my daily gt86 and getting another.

Avensis MK3 Wheel on a AH20 Vellfire
Airbag plugs straight in from the the original connector and has the same resistance/trigger values, so shouldn't impact the functionality of SRS👍 (Obviously disconnected battery and let it discharge from the various modules before swapping, so no codes get stored in the airbag module)

Avensis MK3 Wheel on a AH20 Vellfire
Not so sure that is a good idea to attempt to retrofit an alternative wheel if it compromises the integrity of the SRS - this can void insurance policies. Otherwise, good job on getting so far with it and it looks great

Oil light on
I would say that if in doubt, drop by any garage and have them change the oil and filter but specifically to look for any metallic particles and sludge in the engine oil
