For any Alphard owners in Glasgow and central Scotland I can highly recommend C and C exhausts. Based at Hillington industrial area ,Campbell is extremely fair cost wise and will tell you honestly the condition of the current exhaust system without trying to sell a complete system if not needed.

Looks great! Any more pictures of your conversion you can share?? Enjoy

My fault for not spotting this if you check on eBay uk you can ask the question if the ship to you and how much or just google Alphard jpnz handbook

Thanks very much, I will deffo do the car history check for recalls etc

Both of these sources appear negative in Australia, as far as I can tell. I should have qualified my location.

hi chris There will probably be a large meet in 26, dates to be confirmed

When you select reverse what happens - do the reversing lights come on? Is the fault the same as the reason you changed the camera? if so the problem lies elsewhere. Hopefully you have a 12v tester - a Fluke multimeter or similar As the camera should only come on when the reverse gear is selected it could be the wire isn't going live when reverse is selected - does this come from the head unit or another source? If the camera is being fed power when reverse is selected it could be the feed isn't working, so checking that cable would be another area. Lastly is the head unit itself may be the issue - check the connections are Ok and is there any menu functions that enable or disable the reverse camera?

Hello Clivus the owners handbooks are on eBay or Amazon

Got away this weekend for the first time in myself converted budget 2004 4wd v6 alphie. Spent less than 1500 aud fitting ot out. Flipped the passenger seat, installed a bed at the height of the rear seat side rails (32cm of clearance underneath) which hinges up into a forward or a rearward facing sofa (hooked up to what used to be the grab rails) 200ah lithium, 2k inverter, semi flexible roof solar, microwave, fridge, toilet, induction cooker. Pretty happy so far. Van has 85,000km. Only complaint is the fuel economy. Mine is a 4 speed and I gather the 5-speed Auto would have been more economical. But the whole van including the build has cost me 11k Australian, which is 6500 pounds. The 107 kph cruise control maximum is potentially annoying on the freeway but no freeway between my house and the beach 😊 I have posted previously about rotating the passenger seat without a swivel. I think this is the best way to do it. Because every time I sit in it I think if it was four centimeters higher I wouldn't be able to in either direction. It's so easy to just undo the four 14 millimeter bolts holding in the passenger seat and flip it around. You just need to drill two rivnuts into the seat base to secure the front tabs into what is now the rear of the seat base. Maybe it takes 2 minutes but I think two minutes every time you need to flip the seat might be better than an extra inch and a half of seat height in both directions just for the convenience of a swivel. Hoping this is the first of many weekend getaways in the Alfie 😊

I have just taken delivery of a 2012 Alphard Hybrid 2AZ-FE and would like to buy an Owner's Manual (or get a .pdf download). Cheers

HI ALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE WILL BE ANY ORGANISED MEETS OR SHOWS IN THE COMING YEAR OF 2026. I OWN A TOYOTA VELLFIRE 09. DOES ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN?

Hi @Sorin I have been after the same nees as yours. Have you successfully done it? Please advise. I think i am close but still stuck , see https://uk.alphardclub.com/messenger/1157/?&tab=comments#comment-3956

Here's how I finally did mine, further to the above... Apple TV (all such units are dual voltage) Power: 110v Japanese power lead from Amazon, standard "figure 8" on one end and the 2-pin plug on the other Standard HDMI cable out to HDMI - Component converter (the converter is powered by a USB-C to USB cable, with the USB plug going into a converter into the centre console lighter socket) Component video from the converter box out to the converter input at the back of the centre console I've managed to stuff all of this under the rear passenger seat, so the only thing that comes out of the centre console armrest box is the USB power to the converter box.

Hi Just look at my previous post and use a mirror cast device that outputs component then steam from you phone to the mirror cast device which you plug into the component sockets behind drivers seat works a treat on both screens.

How do you connect the Miracast unit to the factory system? Recently purchased a Vellfire with standard VGA plugs and USB on the back of the centre console. I've tried connecting a fire stick via a VGA/HDMI adapter with no output. I'd be happy to be able to utilise the factory system more that just play DVDs.. anyone able to shed some light please.

Hi guys. Just for info I have my 3.0 2007 Alphard renewal come through with Admiral multi cover. [ house and car ] . £290.83. Includes my wife. Gold cover. No claims protected, legal cover etc I am for reference 67 with full no claims. regards

I don't know for sure, it's possible there is more than one type of wiring loom. Its only 2 bolts to remove in order to check

Hi replaced faulty rev camera with same one ,when fitted it will not show on screen .what to do to fix it

Thanks so much! I was pulling at a small glove box thing!

Hiya, Look under the dashboard where the accerlator is there you will find the fuse box. (you have be flexible to see it). It's a right mare to get fuses in and out.

Could someone please tell me where the drivers side fuse box is as the Toyota manual is absolutely useless. 2011 Vellfire 2.4. Much thanks!

@Rojie Thanks for your your reply. 😊

Hi doss, you could try Vic @ jrh in Huntingdon,good honest guy,been importing for 30yrs,I just bought a vellfire from him,

Hi Doss, Where are you based? We bought ours from Vine Place, Wingate, County Durham. They are on the usual social media channels and website. Thoroughly recommend them, if not too far from you.
