  1. Saw the new Lotus Emria on top gear had the 2JZ engine, wow what a sound.
  2. To be honest, keep looking. You can find grade 4 or 4.5 for reasonable money. The car has to reflect how the last owner looked after it, not a quick go over and a glug of mazola. It's frustrating and time consuming but the right car will come through. Btw, where did you see the car??
  3. I had the same problem with my report. Maybe that just shows when it was reported.
  4. Are you sure its the actual sensor? there is a passenger sensor in the front seat that will chime if a passenger is not wearing a belt and that could have a fault that needs a new buckle? Do you get anything on the dash to suggest rear sensor?
  5. Basically when the pad starts to wear down you will hear a a high pitch squeel when braking.
  6. Not electronic ones. The pads have a audible wear indicator
  7. good place to put it. But better in the fridge
  8. yes, allows members to focus only on the area that is of interest.
  9. We have made some forum alterations to split up the 2 generations of Alphard so we can target more relevancy for members plus the ability to view the members car model under their names. This allows you to understand which Alphard model they are driving. If you have a 20 Series then you can post all your questions related to the 20 series here: https://uk.alphardclub.com/forums/forum/6-toyota-alphard-vellfire-club-forum-2008-2015/ You will also find this available on the front of the forums for easy access.
  10. Someone went overboard on the bling.
  11. Sometimes i like to put a Tunnocks Teacake Wrapper on my Alphard and feel like I am transporting the president.... Discuss
  12. Yes. both Proper large dealer groups.
  13. I have seen 3 types (unfortunatly i dont know the part numbers) 1. Big L Bracket 2. One molded bracket that fitted to the top of the car, looked really neat 3. Magnatic mount,.... bit pants. Seems fiamma do them according to Northstar https://www.facebook.com/Northstarconversions/posts/f45-fiamma-awning-on-toyota-alphard/2459615180758152/
  14. Alphard Club replied to a post in a topic in Technical Guides
    You will also find that the rear sensor will more than likely play up if the vehicle has LPG. Been there. Needs a mechanic with arms to get right up from under the car. Mechanic i had stuck his up up there even with the car still hard.. hard as nails that bloke.
  15. what i have found with Toyota is they don't make too much work for themselves. So usually a facelift will have a different bumper style but all the brackets are the same, as well as the patterns, even though the facelift is different, the actual shape of the light fittings are the same. However, i have never tested this so you will need to look for 2006 - Early 2015
  16. Icarsoft Toyota is a good code reader.
  17. nice camper, and agree with roger, those front seat covers are ace! Enjoy many happy camping trips
  18. I posted aout this in the guides section
  19. Wouldn't have a dealer touch my car. i proved twice by 2 different dealers that they did not even do the service and skipped items on the service. Massive embarrassment to them and publicly announced it. Find a decent garage as get their advice on skipped changes. If i bought a car with skipped changes then i would probably consider a oil flush (as long as seals are safe) and flush it out.
  20. you would need to check for sludging. Toyotas generally do not like having oil skips... unlike german brands that do 20k, Toyota prefer 8-10k service intervals. I found Toyota engines get tappy on cold starts, I have own 15 Lexus/Toyota and do notice when they need a change. I recently changed the oil on my Alphard as even though i only did 2000 miles since last change, i reckon the dealer used Mazola grade oil.. added proper sythentic if you have not bought then i wouldnt buy.. thats my brutal opinion.
