    Hello Alastair, Welcome to the Forum. So you have no grey water storage tank, just an outlet pipe with a valve ? Do you know who performed the conversion ? I would try them first. There are several companies that supply spares for motorhomes and caravans. I would take a photo for them, and it would be helpful if you posted one on this forum. It should make it so much easier for someone to help.

    This sensor in below the inverter?
  8. Garyc
    Lf56wke the garage says one of the sensors is behind the hybrid workings so access is an issue , thank you for your help, much 4.

    hi speed sensor is on the gear box there is 2 if you pm me your reg no. i will give you the part no.s and the a drawing where located
  10. Garyc
    Still doesn't work, the speed sensor fault appeared first so I think it might be related, begrudgingly I have purchased the official wiring diagram and service manual, waiting on delivery from Japan
  11. Jeza
    What about the cruise control you fitted, has that done something to the speed signal?

  13. Alastair MacGregor
    We have 2006 Alphard and the waste water exit socket leaks so we can’t empty the sink. Is it easy to fit a new one?

    I take your point about end of life. An advisory is just that; but indicates upcoming maintenance will be required. However, if the Tester fails the bushes the only remedy, except getting a retest elsewhere, is to have them replaced. Weather here, thankfully, is nowhere near as extreme as your location.

    Thanks all. I checked every fuse. Two were broken, swapped them out and I’m good to go!!

    nippon motors in derby are a great company they spealise in jdm new and 2nd hand parts which they source direct from japan

    Hi Roji Thank you, yes I did as I purchased the car from them. These days they just do sales but recommended a company in Derbyshire who I tried. The problem with searching all these parts companies is that they don't fill me with confidence that they have the correct part. One even quoted the wrong colour. Expensive part as it turns out and so I need to really be careful. Thanks for responding though, much appreciated.

    I seem to learn all my lessons the hard way @Picasso. I blame the parents
  21. Picasso
    you have learned a lesson the hard way you should never mess about with car electrics with the battery connected i hope you get it sorted
  22. Picasso
    Myron is correct you can get it from uk toyota i had nine from my local toyota and i was lucky enough to have a friend who works in parts took about 3 weeks to get if you pm me your reg no. i will get you a price

    When we broke a rear side window, we sourced a replacement from our local Toyota dealer, Listers in Cheltenham. They were very efficient and fast in ordering it from Japan. With the registration and vehicle number, they could find all the necessary information on their system. It was expensive though.

    Ah thanks very much! I’m going to spend today checking the fuses and will text the alternator as well. and yeah. My brother said the same thing about the battery… rookie mistake

    The mot yesterday and they are registering will take couple weeks

    I am from across the pond, and this is rather bizzare. In some of the states that see harsh winter conditions (cold winters, hot summers, road salt) the cracking of bushings is universal and according to toyota specific mechanics here, it is not near end of service life.

    There are 3 fuse boxes. I fitted a head unit and it had a short inside while I was driving. I had some of your problems when that happened. The gear selector indicator is on a fuse in the passenger footwell. You will also notice that there is no beep and even if you get the head unit working, there will be no reversing camera. That is all controlled by the gear selector fuse, which is why the doors wont open. it does not know if it is in park or not. The fuse for the head unit is in the engine bay fuse box if I remember rightly. My guess is that there are other fuses that have blown at the same time. Also check your alternator after. Mine packed up at the same time. A recon unit is available on ebay if that is the case. Rule number 1 when fitting a head unit. Disconnect the battery lol

    Hello Julie, Have your tried Topsham Car Sales (no longer in Topsham). They do, or did, specialise in Bongos and Alphards, and do, or did, have several 'spare' vehicles.

    Hi Andrew, Welcome to the Forum. I changed your year from 1012 then noticed your profile is 08-15, but your year is 2008. Please correct your profile to make it easier for members to provide relevant helpful information in future

    @Chris.ac Is this true?? I’m in Heavitree - Any chance we can say hello somewhere? I’m happy to travel to you with whatever bribes are necessary
  34. Rojie
    Quite stunning, and Calder Campers is one of the best convertors. Has it been registered yet with DVLA ? Does it have an MOT yet.
  35. Julie Cotgrave
    Hello! I'm desperate to find a silver match for a wing mirror unit. Can anyone help please? I have a 2005 facelift model.
