  2. also, have you matched your doc with the cars actual VIN on the car?
  3. on the document do you have any other types of codes? As mine was GGH, it was only the luxury spec (one with airline style middle seats)
  4. Anyone think the chinese got their inspiration from the Alphard for the Maxus Mifa9? Even the door beep is the same. What do you think?
  5. i do remember when i was going it i did it wrong and somehow i did it correctly after a few goes. but looking at yours it looks right format mine was GGH20-801**** mine was a Luxury model

Thanks: IMPERIUM MOTORS https://www.instagram.com/imperiummotors_msk/ https://imperiummotors.ru/ https://t.me/ImperiumMotors_ltd https://wa.me/79855405050 2025 Toyota Alphard/Vellfire gain 2.5L PHEV variants – 306 PS; 73 km EV range; Executive Lounge; fr RM306k Just over a year after the global debut of the fourth-generation Alphard and Vellfire, Toyota has now announced that it will begin selling both MPVs with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain in Japan from January 31, 2025. According to Toyota, the PHEV version of the Alphard and Vellfire will have an electric-only range of 73 km following the WLTC standard (more accurate than NEDC but with less procedures as WLTP) Said PHEV powertrain has similarities to the series-parallel hybrid (HEV) system already on sale, including the use of an A25A-FXS 2.5 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine and an E-CVT (electric continuously variable transmission). However, the PHEV’s engine has lower outputs of 177 PS (174 hp or 130 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 219 Nm of torque at 3,600 rpm. By comparison, the HEV’s engine serves up 190 PS (188 hp or 140 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 236 Nm from 4,300 to 4,500 rpm. Another difference is the battery capacity, which is listed at 51 Ah for the PHEV while the HEV’s unit is 5 Ah. The PHEV’s lithium-ion battery is mounted under the floor in the centre of the vehicle, which Toyota says reduces the centre of gravity by 35 mm compared to HEV models. The new PHEV models support both AC and DC charging, the latter capable of getting the battery to an 80% state of charge (presumably from 20%) in 38 minutes. In the footnotes, Toyota says rapid charging is with a charger capable of delivering an output of 50 kW or higher at a maximum current output of 125A. An external power supply delivering up to 1.5 kW (AC 100V) is also equipped as standard, and the vehicles also come with a vehicle-to-home (V2H) system. With a full battery charge and a full tank of gas, this system can provide enough electricity for about 5.5 days of use, assuming the average household consumes 10 kWh daily. While many aspects of the PHEV powertrain differ from the HEV, the electric motors are identical between the two. All Alphard and Vellfire PHEV models come with the brand’s E-Four system as standard, which features a 5NM front electric motor rated at 182 PS (180 hp or 134 kW) and 270 Nm, while the rear 4NM electric motor serves up 54 PS (54 hp or 40 kW) and 121 Nm.

  9. Recently got chance to film this fabulous camper conversion in a Toyota Alphard. This micro camper looks great from both the inside and the outside.Sylvia has done a fantastic job
  10. Northstar Conversions presents Victoria Penelope - a 2008 Toyota Alphard 2.4L Full Side Conversion with Elevating Roof. This conversion includes a front passenger swivel, full kitchen pod with 2 burner hob and sink combo, D30 12v compressor fridge, full electrics package, propex heater, tow bar with single electrics, as well as many more features.
  11. A short guide to repairing the heat control actuator by replacing the flap position sensor. This is a small disk with carbon tracks on which wear out over time causing an intermittent or noisy operation.
  12. ouch that is expensive as its less than an hour, in fact 30 min job if only draining fluids. Tranmission specialists will do it for 250 mark. We did it ourselves as Just needed the OBD reader, Fluids and filters. Follow the guidelines (these are important as requires right temperature)
  13. good fair price that. car looks clean too.
  14. This should be sent out at the weekend.
  15. I know this is for landcruiser but same principle for all automatics.
  16. The heat in the transmission comes from driving in the overdrive gears where the torque converter is not locked in. When towing with an automatic you need to select something like 4th gear or S and do not let the vehicle go in to 5th or higher. avoid the top cruising gears, these are weak gears and do not use the torque converter to assist. some autos have 6 or even 8 gears and need to find the non-overdrive gears and stick to it which helps fuel economy (believe it or not) and prevent heat in the transmission where it cooks the oil. You will be suprised how quickly it will heat up on fats roads going uphill when using the wrong gear.
  17. on my last alphard i purchased a CarVX report and was surprised with the information given. Also past auction reports with pics.
  18. I changed mine because they were clunking, even though the were shot to pieces (UK roads destroy rubbers on jap imports) i was hoping it would of be totally quiet, but still got the odd knock on particular bumps. that could of been strut mount bushes too. However, cornering was much better. A lot tighter and did not feel such a large barge in the end. so anything like strut mounts (not worth doing, take a look where they are positioned) slight play in ball joints perhaps. Problem is the car is so quiet is that you can hear all the knocks
  19. did you use aftermarket droplinks? I did and they do clunk a little. I think i paid £19 per link and took 2 hours to fit from start to finish, that includes no ramp, on the roadside. also ARB's are hard to get to from what i could see. maybe the actual reason for the high costs i guess.
  20. Have you tried Mark Richards (Jap Cover) ? It will be a case of shopping around. Also, add a second driver like a spouse or sibling who has full licence and access to another car. I have seen massive drops in price by adding another driver.
  21. Alphard / Vellfire 20 Series Mat set made from quality wilton carpet Will fit both 8 or 7 seater petrol model only (does not fit Hybrid) Set comprises of 3x front mats (drivers mat has heel pad and floor clips) 4 x door step mats (with stitched velcro) Centre row cover mat (With Velcro fixing points) £139 + £10 Delivery. Note centre row mat is a cover mat so will partly sit over tracks, also protects them too. I have only got one set of these,

  22. I had the same issue. I shopped around and managed to get it lower but nothing like year before. Things to help Add a partner to the policy as a "Named driver", even if they dont drive it If you have 2 cars in the house then add yourself as a Named Driver to the other car if you have already not. Some co's sell Excess Cover, it's usually cheap, so volunteer a higher excess and then insure the excess, So if in total the excess is 500 then insure the whole amount.. This worked for me, I paid £40 for £500 cover but saved £90 in policy cover) If you do less miles then what you are insuring then lower the amount on the policy. Only insure it for the trade value, not what you bought it for. You will only get book value, never what you want. (consult with ins co. first)
  23. @David Howard a few photos may help your sale. good luck
  24. Welcome to the club Ben
