Darren Eyles Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hi, where is the jacking point on the back end of the Alphard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcous Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi Darren, The 4 jack points on our Alphard are on each sill, to the rear of the front wheels and to the front of the rear wheels. I had to change a wheel at the roadside after a puncture on the first long trip out - found it hard work using the standard jack because of the additional weight of the campervan conversion, so decided to add a hydraulic jack to the kit after that....

Chris.ac Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 the rear central jack point is an extrusion near the spare wheel carrier, marked with the round crosshatch in diagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine the sill was previously damaged / squashed by a swing arm lift using the points shown on the diagram. Has anyone else had the same problem?

Nigel Heyward Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Going to be spraying underbody protection in the next couple of weeks so glad to find out the position of jacking points, and I'm assuming that safety stands are another name for Axle stands?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Stimson Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hi Chris.ac. I see you have a 3.5 Alphard. I have a 3.5, V6 Alphard on a 2008 plate. I need a rear bumper and and brakes all round. Any ideas where these can be located? Thanks. Mick in Peterborough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picasso can probably help, if Chris can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.ac Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Bumper, you could try secondhand, probably easier to join some alphard UK Facebook groups and ask. Brake pads, any motor factor/parts centres (except Halfords, you'll just get frustrated beyond the point any reasonable person deserves) The brakes/discs are common with multiple Toyota.

Beverley King Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Worrying technical comment from the Alphard owner's handbook; in the event of a rear puncture, you should not fit the spare get home wheel to the rear of the vehicle as it may cause problems with your rear transmission and damage the transmission due to the sensors. Their advice is to take a front wheel and put it on the back and then put the get home wheel on to the front. Does anyone know if this is applicable to all models (both 4 and front wheel drive?)

I doubt it applies to the front wheel drive cars as they have no rear transmission. Which page are you referring to ? So we can read about it and decide whether it applies to 4wd and Hybrids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Brown Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 About 5 weeks ago I had a puncture on the nearside back wheel and I had the skinny wheel spare put in its place, on my Hybrid. Then drove home the 37 miles at roughly at 50mph. Then had the puncture repaired the following day, no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you send your VIN (or registration) to Picasso he can probably check for you. Interestingly, this infprmation is not on page 312 of the JPNZ Owners Manual that I have. Which manual are you referring to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicM Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I have the same manual as Beverly if it helps the paragraph states as follows limited slip diff fitted vehicles do not fit the spare tyre to the rear wheel if a rear tyre is punctured fit the spare tyre to a front wheel and fit the front tyre to the rear wheel if the spare tyre is fitted to a rear wheel the lsd will operate constantly even during normal driving and the lsd will be damaged when a spare tyre is fitted the vehicle speed may not be detected correctly so the following systems may not work normally abs. Brake assist. Vsc and trc. Radar cruise control. Lane monitoring system the following systems not only cannot operate properly but may have negative influence on the diving system parts also full time 4wd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
