Be aware - you won't get much help from an owners manual - that will only tell you how to drive and which buttons do what. Fortunately, the owners manual in Japanese also includes good pictograms, so you can mostly work out what buttons do what from that.

I think it unlikely that a proper workshop manual is available anywhere for the Alphard as it was only intended for a limited number of Asian Countries.

However, you may be able to get some useful information by researching for a workshop manual for an alternative car which made use of the same engine for example - e.g. UK Lexus RX300 ( for 3.0 1MZ-FE ), or in U.S.A - Toyota Camry, Lexus ES300, and maybe others. I have managed to download free a workshop manual for the CAMRY, and once I have figured out how to open a .RAR file maybe I will see if it is any use for the Alphard.

Can anyone help,? I have bought the owners workshop manual for 2011 to 2015 for my 2008 2.4s premium. The earlier 2005 to 2011 manual is the correct year for my Alfie but does not have the identical specs. The confusing thing is that the 2011/2015 is the exact match. Why?. I am really confused.

There is no official alphard workshop manuals I no this as I work for the company that sells the handbooks these are printed by jpnz in New Zealand

Hi picasso, so what your saying is that the manuals dates do not correspond with the year of manufacture. IE the 2011 dated manual is the correct one for mine , even though its registered in 2008.

Handbooks dates are 2002 to 2008. Then 2008 to 2015 these are the printed copy's we sell unless it's a hybrid which are different dates

Ok thanks. So just to clarify, 2008 to 2011/15 is the correct one for mine. Cheers 😊😊

Engine and gearbox are different, but owners manual is not a maintenance manual. Some body panels are different, and different seating.

 

Ian, As 2008 was the crossover year a photo of the vehicle, side view, would clinch it for us.

Evo 1 and Evo 2 have different body panels.

But, as Picasso says, either way, there is no Workshop Manual yet.

The manual you have should help with location of switches and waring lights, seat operation, and lots of other info, but not mechanics.

Hi Rojie. I'm sending a picture of my Alfie. I am sure when a workshop manual is available there will be lots of us after one. The owners is,as you stated great for all the internal stuff, IE seats,switches etc. Thanks for the reply guys🥰

Hi Ian,

 

Thanks for the photo.

This helps all of us understand what vehicle you have.

 

I believe , you have a early version of the Evolution 2. 2008 onwards.

I'll need to check when your model was discontinued, 2015 at a guess.

FRO396 and FRO3035 do not fully cover your model.

 

Picasso is the expert on the manuals as 'his' company supplies them.

This Forum is very fussy about commercial interests, so Picasso is limited in how he can promote these manuals.

I have no financial interest in JPNZ manuals or Picasso's company; so I am free to recommend them.

.

I expect Picasso will advise you (here) of the reference number for the JPNZ manual you need (if you haven't got it already).

If he doesn't let me know and I'll get the info from him.

 

As Picasso has previously stated, the Maintenance Manual(s) are slated for publication next year.

Until them we all have to wait, although there are sources out there.

 

Our fellow member Chris.ac, in Exeter, seems to be a leader in locating technical information regarding Alphards.

Thank you Chris.

 

ps. And I know that (sales) banner too.

As always, you can always refer questions back to your supplier/importer as they have a vested interest in keeping their customer base informed and happy.
