  1. Today
  2. Is this a diy job or do I need to take it to a garage, both sides have now snapped due to corrosion
  3. Car is due an mot and just noticed the strap across buckle isnt working on the middle seats. Are replacements standard and are they easy enough replaced
  4. Used Tein suspension for 20 series No leaks. Removed from genuine 40,000 mile example. Estimated use of this system 20,000 miles £250 Ono - collection Kent (That price wouldn’t cover the shipping of a new set from Japan).

  6. Yesterday
  7. This can be a problem with cheaper most adaptors. This brand retains fader and balance. Most adaptor
  8. JulesC started following Maypole Van cover
  9. Bought a fabulous cover for my Alfie! Maypole breathable. Easy to put on and covers her entirely. Highly recommend
  10. There is a bed you can buy that fits over the front seats of a VW van and I wonder if anyone knows if it fits in an Alphard? Thank you, Eleanor
  11. Because with the most box you dont have control over balance and fade. You also cant utilize the surround system. Youd have to get an entirely new amp and rewire all of the channels to do so or just keep the stock head unit
  12. I can sort of see as a stop gap to gain car play or android auto, but I definitely want to see if the other speakers and oem subwoofer sounds any good. Right now I just need to check out what was done to see if a better implementation can be made.
  13. Just took front door panel off and got a nice surprise, Alpine 6.5 fitted (FT17S) with the tweeters in the dash so don’t think I’ll bother changing.
  14. Not sure what possesses some of the previous owners to bypass the 640w amplifier and amplifier subwoofer (unless they have blown them). They usually downgrade with a 4x50w headunit.
  15. As for parts try amayama.com and put the vehicle details in. Find the part to get the number and then try ebay and other sites to see who else offers them.
  16. Good morning all, I have a working reversing camera but it doesn't give a particularly wide view so I have been looking at others. The one that I have that works is this one (170° Car Front/Rear View Reverse Parking Camera Waterproof Night Vision Camera): I have tried two other ones, this (720P AHD Vehicle Rear View Reverse Camera 170 Degree Lens Night Vision Parking Assistance Camera CVBS Rear Camera HD Color Image): and (AHD 1080P Reversing Camera, Rear View Camera 360° Rotatable Metal Housing Universal Reverse Camera for Car 170° Wide Angle IP69K Waterproof Night Vision): I went for those as the video connector was the same (or close enough for the last one) so I expected the video to work but neither of these do, while the first one works fine. The ends in the car are these: The head unit is rather old by the looks of it: and the back of it has the expected tangle of wires: So this has more to do with video output types than anything else - is 'AHD' a new format that uses the same physical connectors or something? Can anyone tell me what camera features I should be looking for, or maybe the head unit replacement journey is about to happen? Any thoughts, cheers. Paul
  17. Last week

  19. I’ll take a more in depth look at the plugs this weekend when I have some time, in the meantime I just did a Quick Look under the seats to make sure everything seems to be there. Just looks like plugs have been unplugged from the Panasonic. Also included a single picture from behind the current android head unit. Under the drivers seat is the subwoofer. No idea if that’s powered on. Under the passenger seat. Behind head unit. I’ll need to reach in an see what connectors are in there.

  27. Thankfully they restocked at Silkblaze I ordered another 8 sets. 2 arrived today test Monday. 2 day shipping from Japan via FedEx Example I genuinely think they are the best option for any series Vellfire / Alpahrd
  28. I always phone autojapspares.co.uk 02476474848, if they don't have it they usually know who might

  30. Do anyone know where I can source a new or reconditioned Shift Position Sensor for an Alphard Hybrid 2.4L 2006/7? Any help much appreciated.
  31. Thanks. I have had some diagnostics by a very helpful RAC patrolman. In case anyone is interested I will post them below. AI tells me it’s likely to be HV ecu!
  32. Have had the passenger side wing mirror smashed off by a truck... Can anyone help with a parts schematic diagram for removal/fitting new unit? Many Thanks
  33. 6 speaker system was usually on export models. What is your chassis type? Ggh20r or ggh20w?
