Hi Jess – We fitted a towbar and have the Strada Evo 3 bike rack, which keeps the bikes low and gives you vision through the rear view mirror. The roller pull-out system gives sufficient clearance when the Alphard tailgate is lifted, because it dips towards the ground as it pulls out, and can used to gain access to the rear of the Alphard with bikes still on it. We've used it for a several years now and it's served us well on both short and long European journeys. I believe the Strada Evo, Vario and DL racks use the same pull-out system. Of course you’ll need to fit a towbar, so it’s a more expensive option – but it may be worth considering if you journey regularly with bikes…

Hello there! Have you checked your brake fluid level? The warning light doubles up for that. Cheers, Nev

HI, Manage to get the ECU Part number 89661-58080

That sounds like what I was getting before I cleaned the MAF (made no difference) and then replaced the sensor in the exhaust manifold. If you have an OBD reader (JOBD for these vehicles) then take a look at the codes to see where the issue is. There are a number of threads covering 'lambda'. 'sensor', 'O2' or 'Oxygen', 'P0171, 'system too lean (bank 1)' and the like. With mine I struggled to get the replacement sensor in as the previous mechanic had stripped the threads on the exhaust manifold - the below thread follows that.
