Alphard Club

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.

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.

Paintwork looks great. More pics of the interior would be great

thought when you were in reverse there is a small button on bottom of the screen

if these are making a noise when braking then I would check to see you are not getting earthing issue or some kind of electrical fault. Not saying this is the issue but worth checking. Ask someone to press the brake to see if all the lights work properly and that no other lights come on when braking.

drove an evora around castle coombe for a day and did not realise it was a 2GR, yes it was amazing engine.

As these are not standard to the car then its tricky. Try this link to a pressure guide, i set it to your tyre size. Maybe a guide for you. https://tirepressure.com/245-40r19-tire-pressure Seek professional advice if unsure.

Never heard of calibration needed. are you having issues with them?

I dont have the car with me but if I remember later I will try and measure the boot load area

I believe all tow bars can be fabricated for any car, if you go to a good tow bar shop they should be able to take a look underneath and fabricate exactly what you want. I had one where i could remove it but simply undoing one bolt and then it was hidden away. This was on my old Lexus.

@Mohammed imran one point is that when it comes to boiling then you should add the cap back on or sooner.. you cannot leave cap off all the time, until you feel heat then you should be fine and its stopped burping itself. Just be careful.

no it's just a possible solution, but could be a guide with a bit more detail

it really sounds like you have air in the Matrix. Thats why the temprature is half way because the water is still circulating but the air is trapped behind the dash. do the following let car go cold turn on engine whack temperature to hot .. full heat on the dash open up coolant cap on rad and bottle (do this when cold!!!) let the engine run to its temperature top up with coolant as needed as the engine will burp itself and the air will displace and will need a top up once the level stops dropping, top up and put cap on. Remember to do this part. Very important you open up the heating on both front and back control panels this will allow the water to flow around both front and rear matrix.

I believe it's quite difficult to keep the surround sound. The stereo can be changed no problem. What issues did you get with the apple car play??
