My last motor was a Kia Sedona, I went by the label which was in English (and it had the tyres as listed!) I'm probably worrying about it all a bit too much to be honest. This is my first nice motor to be honest (previous cars have usually been anything with MOT for less than £200 lol!) Just want to look after this one and keep everything in good nick. I have no experience with these vehicles and wanted to ensure I wasn't running around on a silly tyre set up! I agree 45 seemed a bit high to me (though it does handle fine.)... Might put them at 38-40 psi and see how it goes... Thank you all for the advice and reassurance, much appreciated 👍

Ditto, as per the book. (And most cars of the era are the same. But by no means all) But - there is also an additional spec for our engines, the ash rating. C3 is very likely the most commonly listed for ours, Low SAPS - Sulphated Ash, Phosphorous, and Sulphur. So that when some oil inevitably gest burned, it doesn't wreck the catalytic converter., and also other stuff that is beyond me!

45 is a bit too high. It really will be fine at the same as the 55 height ratio, I'd guess it's 2.3 or 2.4 kpa (bar). 34 to 36 psi, on the plate. They are not Formula 1 racing machines, a couple of psi are not going to mess up the ride or handling. Nor would it in any car, in honest reality. The pressure should be increased for extra load, most cars I've had give different pressures on the data plate for number of passengers, and then luggage carried. So a small amount of pressure either way is absolutely not going to mess up the car. What did you drive previously? And what did you run the tyres at on that? To put into context your concerns!!

Sorry not got back to you sooner but I have had computer problems with a new machine not playing ball. You have to sit in the seat beside the window you want to set. Lower each one down, hold for 5 secs, raise it up hold for 5 secs, repeating this a couple of times for each window. Then the windows can be operated from the drivers seat.

Mine are becoming tatty, I am thinking of getting a new set from Wolfrace for around £500.00. I haven’t considered refurbishing the existing set, how much does this cost, approximately? Thanks, Alan

The tyre pressure listed is for the 225/55 r17s... It currently has 225/60 r17s, so I assume could require a slightly different pressure?

Glad to help

What pressure does your tyre plate state ? Drivers side. It will not be in psi. I seem to recall I use about 35psi.

Yes great, many thanks. Solution so simple and so true. What a relieve. Now it was easy work. I apreciate your help. Karsten

Thanks everyone for the help and reassurance, much appreciated. I will be sending my vin to "picasso" shortly to find out exactly what trim level it is etc... So the next silly newbie question - can anyone recommend what I should inflate my 225/60 r17s to??? (They are currently all at about 45psi...) Thanks,

i had mine snap just coming off the heater matrix 2 years ago originals are plastic i had mine replaced with copper ones https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271375339219?_skw=22mm+t+peice&itmmeta=01JVCW3DH7BFMZHVT0C8XQNBJ8&hash=item3f2f3b0ed3%3Ag%3APtQAAMXQVERS2U7N&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA8FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1cCJJpE%2BHRPAnJa%2FCMB8gnzuyMQs121geTGYpJ0Y9tCGGVqrAnfVREKpaoCHy7i6GAGhTca2NSylSxRJmMGKY0oTGsTNM7s7e87Eg%2BFln8ryn7bJrH7uFSvZv9ocESGIhcYbz9toWBqkqknUazFwNkOfeHgSAu4hn6W0oxR3Z4lEJ7Y4IDiDo3SpFdyi9JA6N68wCwiYEUv70Ge9gWihHqRpF3D6TH6gfJ0T4w2WL%2BcX--eb%2BZnu9GqMVlBxZTyjhJfRVZTWMbjHs2vkDuEn%2Bhl7tMgihoxL6Q2taTSGE33RQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABFBMzNuNnNtl&keyword=22mm+t+peice&sacat=0&relatedSearch=true

I have a 2013 alphard 2.4 luxury was wondering what grade of oil I need can anyone advise me please

hello on the 3.0 its in the tank you dont normaly change these as its part of the pump

Having mine painted black next friday i will post a picture once done

Hello, sorry a bit of a panic here as due to go on a long journey shortly. I need 2 T- Connectors 22mm on all 3 points. Can only find in Germany, any idea about places in Uk I might find them. Thanks

Thank you, yes I think you're right, ill give that one a miss. I do like the Alphard, i am concerned about fuel consumption but am assuming 25 to 30 mpg. Aiming for the 2.4 litre as id rather not have a cambelt. Its the camper conversion I'm looking for and the more i research the more I like them.

Hi guys, the wheels that came with my Alphard need to be refurbished. Been to see someone today and they suggested powder coating them which makes sense but in black. Here is a picture of the standard wheels, anyone seen them in black before? Would like to see a picture of them in black as not sure what they would look like. Cheers

I don't disagree with the above, but, OnIy applies to some trim levels. The other common size is 205/R16 95H, depending on the trim level. I suspect your tyre plate cites that size. Either should be fine and are in common use in our community.

Hi there, I just looked in my Alphy manual (it's a Japanese Translation: JPZ Manuals or something like that) and the stated tyre size for a 2.4 ANH10W (FWD) is 225/55 R17 95W (so a W speed rating is still way in excess of any speed I'll ever go at, but Hey Ho.....) See attached photo from the Manual - which sadly I just had to remove - cos it's copyrighted!!. Cheers, Bill

Hello Will, Welcome to the Forum.

This will provide you with all the answers:

Is this Filter an in tank one and attached to the pump/Sender unit or is it an External type fitted somewhere on the Van. The type and Location would be a great help Best Regards Will

Hello Panlo, Welcome to the Forum.

I have recently replaced my tailgate with but although the door beeps after pressing the buttons to open, it does not open or close. Any clues on how I can rectify this isssue?
