Have you got one? Fit it yourself or take it to a Toyota Garage.

I’m after a 2005 2.4ltr rear exhaust silencer. I’m on the south coast near Brighton and can’t find a garage willing or able to supply and fit one… Any recommendations please? Cheers Kerrie

Hi, any luck? I’m after a 2005 2.4ltr rear exhaust silencer. I’m on the south coast near Brighton and can’t find a garage willing or able to supply and fit one…

My recent issues with leisure battery led to the electrician who fitted control unit to emphasise have the fridge OFF excepted when on hookup power supply. His experience declared fridge on leisure battery only can drain it too quickly.

BTW I'm talking engine batt, no other batt powered devices! Not long after we got our ‘02 2.4 van I got a no start situation, all dead no lights etc. Under bonnet check revealed very slightly loose positive terminal connection, (eyelet on cable to battery post clamp slightly loose. Nipped up & all was well. Recently van is used as 2nd vehicle and problem arose again & more often + both terminals this time. Spring washers sourced & during fitting noticed battery moving slightly on tray. Close inspection revealed with a bit of effort it would move rotationally quite a bit, home made extension noted on clamp bracket leading to discovery that battery was far bigger than mounting tray! It’s a 70A/hr unit and I haven’t referred to standard spec yet. Main issue was to get it solidly held in place. 7mm wide cable ties fitted at one end but shape of tray support stymied opposite end, but it’s SOLID now.

Greetings, Our Eco camper Olly has developed what we understand is a Hybrid system fault (please see picture). Can anybody steer us in the right direction. Our local garages (AME being one of them) don't have the Japanese diagnostic tool. Many thanks in advance, Shazza n Phil

common codes that come up for the 3.0v6 is air maf sensor and oxegen sensor there is 4 on the 3.0 its mainly the fronr ones that go.

Great thanks mate

Well done for figuring it out. Yeah, i suggested the bridging method over a year ago now, I'm glad it is still of use - the most system being a loop can throw people a bit, especially if they are replacing the rear media screen.

Wiring diagrams will be available on Toyota gsic system, you'll have to pay for access. It's too new for anyone to have 'leaked' the diagrams online.

Do you have a 2002 to 2008 or a 2013? Either way there are cleaning, polishing and sealing kits available if you are Ok with a bit of manual effort.

Ok thanks

My head light bulbs are very yellow and poor , need better lights for safety

That will help people. For anyone that is interested however, the front mats are on an indefinite unknown lead time at the moment. Hopefully they are not discontinued.

I asked nengun to add these to their website so whoever interested here is the link: Nengun PerformanceSilk Blaze - 3D Floor Mats for Series 20 Vellfire/AlphardSilk Blaze offer their 3D Floor Mats for Series 20 Vellfire/Alphard vehicles.

Thanks... Didn't end up being to go that far, I used a very small screw and replaced the tiny bit of plastic with that and working well again

Hi Susan, What was the outcome? Thank you

hello, does anyone know how to reassemble the mechanism on the little flip tray that sits in the dash? I have all the parts just cant work out have to get it back together. I usually would’ve taken a picture but my wife called me when i was doing it and I unnecessarily undid the wrong bit and it sprung apart. I now cant work out which way round the spring goes or where the little metal clip came from. Thanks Update, I’ve worked out where the clip goes i’m just struggling with working out which way round the spring fits

This post prompted me to try and get this certificate as we plan to travel in France with our Alphard camper this Spring. Initially it looked quite daunting, particularly as the V5 for our 2008 Alphard also does not have any emissions information on it. A search of the internet was fruitless. However, by patiently delving into this web site showed that you could apply for the certificate based on the type of fuel and the year of manufacture, and you did not need to submit a CO2 figure, just leave it blank. Our Alphard turned out to be Euro 4, which gave it a category 2. I have received several emails from the French authorities with lastly, an email version of the certificate that I can use until the physical one arrives by post, which they said would take about a week.

If it's a factory fitted unit have you tried amayama.com? Postage takes a while but if you put in your vehicle details it will tell you which part numbers you need.

Yes, that's what i had to do, but described poorly in previous post. I guess there is a minor revision on some headunits that don't require that modification. Well done for getting sorted. I agree, the resolution is a bit fuzzy, i think because it's using the rca input. But it at least allows to offload the satnav onto an otherwise useless screen.

Just before I attempt to fix it... Does anyone know a supplier for the series 30 built in phone holder? One of the spring mounts as snapped off mine

Interesting. But also weird. Because it doesn’t do it every time. Maybe one decapitation every five openings? Anyway I’ll see how it goes this week. Cheers Chris
