Good afternoon, I was wondering where people aquire spare parts for their alphard's. Apart of the fuel line in my alphard has blown, I found one on Ebay but they now say that they can't source it until August. Just hoping someone may have an idea of where else to look.

Many thanks in advance.

I tend to use amayama.com to find the right part number and then do a search on ebay.co.uk or autodoc.co.uk to see if anyone can do it cheaper or faster.

Once you have the part number, call your local Toyota dealer and see if they can order them in. Toyotadirectparts.co.uk are sometimes cheaper than my local dealer, although often you have to put in a request with the part number for them to create a web page for that part that you can order from.

Another option if you get no luck finding one locally is to put the part number into zenmarket.jp and search Mercari and Yahoo (called JDirectItems outside Japan for legal reasons) auctions. Those tend to have more used parts available if there's no UK stock. You pay a fee for then handling the purchase, shipping in Japan for the item to their warehouse, shipping from Japan, and VAT on top. They do make sure that taxes are paid so the parcel doesn't get stuck at UK customs awaiting fees.
