AFS on my 2007 3L MS spec definitely works. Country roads highlight it best. Turning round a corner, then letting go of the wheel to let it correct itself will show it clearly. You can see the beam of light actually moving back to a straight position. I also noticed that when you turn on the lights, they appear dim, then brighten within a few seconds. I always thought that was just the type of bulb warming up yknow? But it may well be the AFS system doing a self-check. I'll have to stand outside the vehicle and get my partner to turn them on while I watch. She can't even notice AFS working on the country roads, but to me it's clear they are indeed operating normally!

Hi new to the vellfire just collected my one on friday and enjoying it, its the 3.5ltr 4wd one great car high miles 120k but good history but now I have it i want to give it a full service engine gearbox and 4wd system just want to know where people are going to, to get all there service items Thank you

I found the problem yesterday evening. One side of the panel fuse socket was pushed Out through the fuse box. So the fuse got No correct contact. So my complete illumination ist working. @Jimmympv i think your problem can be the radio itself or a loose cable at the Back of the radio. If all other Illumination ist working, i think the fuse ist ok. Whats the fabrication year of your car?

Under drivers seat? The only standard things would be the subwoofer (black) fitted in the 18 speaker system and the 110v inverter ( if you have the Japanese ac sockets in the rear of the centre console and the 150watt AC switch to the right of steering wheel. Without knowing your full spec or modifications from previous owner, hard to say without a photo

I can't offer any advice but I have a similar issue except it's just the two rows of buttons under the touch screen on my headunit that don't light up.

Without seeing a picture of it, my guess is it could possibly be an ETC box, do you have a small antenna on the dash near the windscreen at all?

Under the driver seat of my new Vellfire 2013 is a small rectangular blue grey box about 10x10x3 cm with a wiring connector going into the back of it and a label with B2 in big letters on the top. Does anyone else have one, or know what it is? (I would upload a photo but I get a message saying "you do not have any existing attachments" whatever that's supposed to mean!

I want to fit an awning rail to my Vellfire 2013. Has anyone done this? In particular I am wondering what is the best placement for the rail and whether I need to be aware and careful of any wiring in the roof that I would be drilling into.

Hi Boagie, I'm in the same situation you were in 2 years ago. After your experience, can you recommend a supplier or fitter for a swivel passenger seat fitting?

Yes Mark at Hybrid Repairs is first class. He repaired my HV battery about 3 years ago, works better than before. He does a thorough in depth repair not just module replacement. He will also give you the best advice if you just want to talk to him.

Hello from a first time Vellfire owner in Surrey. Are there any local owners groups or regular meets?

Hey guys, my Vellfire has a problem. My complete illumination of all switches is not working. Radio, climate control, gear indicator and all switches arround the steering wheel are dark. I checked all fuses in all 4 fuseboxes. All fuses are ok. Do someone has an idea? The illumination dosent work since i bought the Vellfire, but now i saw an other vellfire with same production year. This car has the complete illumination. I hopesomeone can help me to fox the problem.

hi just bought the above enjoying life with google lens for now I live on the south coast I will no doubt have plenty of questions season toyxmas greetings to all

apologies for the massive delay, no we didn't. no noises when adjusting the rear fans , yes the rear fans are on. i did recently get it serviced and he said the filters were clogged up with pollen and i was hoping that'd made it work again, however there's still no airflow

Yeah I’ve since been touch with them, they seem like genuine guys 👍

This company is new. It has been registered for less than a month.

A "3 month warranty" is almost meaningless. You need to understand exactly what is covered, and what is NOT. Should an issue be identified; who pays the bill ? The vendor, some warranty company, or you (then you make a claim for reimbursement). It would also be helpful to understand who would actually undertake the work.

It seems the AFS is actually working. I never take notice when the lights come on but last night when I started the car I made a point of looking where the light points to when switched on and I could see the beam moving up and down as it seemed to calibrate itself. When driving along a country lane I tried to see if any movement laterally when going around a bend and I think there was a little, very subtle movement I think so it does seem to be working after all. I did find something online suggesting that in the first 15 mins of starting the engine whilst stationary one could as a test turn the steering wheel side to side and should see sideways movement but I haven’t done this but may do to satisfy my curiosity.

So, the wipers are replaced (passenger side wiper arrived today morning) I tried them and everything seems ok for me. There's a small section left unwiped at the bottom of screen on passenger side (see picture) but it's not really affecting visibility. Will test them properly when some rain arrives (don't need to wait very long for it I bet 😜) VID_20251212_123750.mp4

Hi Chris I've been thinking about buying the refills only but, as I'm not sure if they will fit properly (I have some aftermarket blades installed on my Alfie, can't even identify the make/producer) I decided to order a proper one - NWB - for the first change (I have my Alfie since July) and then I'll probably get the refills. Thanks anyway Regards

Work great (on 20 series) on country roads at night.

Just to add, you can buy boxes of 10 rubber refills. When removing the old rubber, you must remove and swap to the new rubber, the two long metal ribs. At the moment, getting those official rubber refills in packs of 10 requires going via a 3rd party. I'm still looking at the first effectiveness. I used amayama to buy a few rubbers for both sides ( kept adding to basket until the postage bumped up, at which point i removed one rubber too get it down to the lowest cost delivery)

Anyone have any info on this place? Seems to have popped up out of nowhere and can find very limited info on it. Here's one of their adverts: Autotrader Ad And here's their facebook page that's brand new: Facebook page Any info appreciated!
