Hey, 

I'm looking for a garage that can help with my 2005 2.4 Alphard in New Forest area. Need one that has diagnostics and can sort out my issue with my car struggling to start when it’s engine is hot (regular temp) Just taken it to a “specialist” who changed the air flow sensor and as soon as I drove 15mins away the engine light came back on and they are clueless about what the engine starting issue could be - any help appreciated. It starts perfectly when the engine is cold.

Send a PM to the Alphard Club, he lives near you.

You could do worse than to get an OBD reader which will tell you the reason why the check engine light is illuminated. They're very easy to use and means you'll be well informed when talking to garages about your problem. The Ancel JP700 device will work on your vehicle.
