Hello Paul,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Have you searched this forum yet ?

 

Members have previously mentioned a couple 'down' south'

Does anyone know for sure if you can fit a towbar to a 2007 2.4 Alphard Hybrid ?

[Duncan Grimmond]

I know it can be done... I helped a pal fit one he had bought. There was a minor hitch during installation, mainly due to lack of easy access and there was a fair amount of effing and blinding but it went on. 

I plan to go to a local supply/fit company locally, either Harrogate Tow Centre or I've been recommended Horsforth Towbars.

I'm trying to identify the exact year to see if I am an early or later year type. I think the car is possibly built before the vague "date" of manufacture.

Does anyone have a formula for working out which year it really was made as opposed to the handy next number available at DVLA

I don't think DVLA behave that way.

 

They do record the date of manufacture as the date first registered in Japan; not quite the same thing.

 

Have you tried CarVX, to see if that yields better information.

 

I think it is the same in the UK.

The DVLA do not know, or care, when the vehicle was made; only when it was first registered.

 

Do you mean Gen 1 or Gen 1 facelift ?
