    More information about "Video: Poor fuel economy on Toyota Alphard. Car revs too high and drinking petrol."
    You may have driven manual cars before but what do you know about automatic gearboxes. Here I talk about the Toyota Alphard automatic gearbox. One of the most common issues is that drivers who have not driven an automatic before, drive in the third gear. This leads to high revs, a noisy engine and low fuel economy.

    More information about "Video: Toyota Alphard / Vellfire drop link replacement. Thumping noise and poor handling."
    Not my finest video on the Toyota alphard drop links but I'm hoping it is off some use. This is how I changed my drop links on my Toyota Alphard. They looked nice on tight on the vehicle but on closer inspection they needed to be replaced. I hope you find this video useful.

    These are five hidden secrets of the Toyota Alphard. Let me know how many of these you knew about in the comments. Hopefully this will have been useful for you. These five secrets may not be apparent to you even though you have had the car for a long time. How bizarre. Hit the subscribe button to support more videos on the Toyota Alphard.

    The old mechanics myth about import cars. I have never had problems getting parts, especially servicing parts etc. Only parts i would say that would be difficult would be side windows. But then again i have seen plenty of scrap alphards floating around. BTW, if you have a Toyota part number and contact your dealer, your dealer can order it in.

    Hi I have never really thought about this. My Alphard came from Osaka, had all the history from Osaka all the way down to the sat nav of where the last owner lived. I think a car outside the affected area should be fine, especially if its from the south. Put it this way, I stood outside the affected Chernobyl Reactor in 2016 and also spent the rest of the day around Pripyat and at the end theday the collective reading from my devide (forget the name of it) was the same as having an x-ray. So i would not be worried about the car unless it was within 100 mile radius of Fukushima. But then again i'm not an expert.

    if you modify height then consider have airbag kits installed. it will firm up the ride https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313&_nkw=suspension+airbag+kit&_sacat=0

    thanks for placing your vehicle up for sale. Ideally it would be best to have the following information\ Car description Mileage History info Price Location Pictures This will really help your sale and also helps the potential buyer. Thanks

    i think the UK address is now the only one you need. They will follow up on it. Just takes a little bit of time. The dealer needs to receive the part and instruction book on how to replace the part. As most technicians have never worked on an Alphard before.

    As Kendo suggests, this is one of the most common causes of high MPG Check that first Consider LPG conversion, we reduced our MPG by 40%. We had a stag system fitted by Profess Autogas

    Hi Andy You probably wont benefit for the first 2 miles as the car will still be warming up, meaning the engine will warm up before the hybrid kicks in. By that time your wife will be at work. The hybrid is more beneficial around town than long runs. Another option is a 2.4 or 3.0 with LPG, even though the car still needs to warm up for 2 mins before LPG kicks in, when it does your fuel costs will be roughly 40% less. initial investment of LPG is approx £1200, however this will add slightly more value to the car and easier to sell later. LPG will benefit 100% of the time whereas hybrid was designed for city driving.

    Hi Ann, there are a bunch of insurance companies at the top of this thread. Tax is around the 250 mark.

    I'm afraid not. You may be able to get the rear camera to work, but front is harder. I have heard of one person getting it to work, but i have only ever used front camera twice, but stereo everyday so stereo is more important.

    Hi Do you have a 240v splitter? ie. can you connect to 240v at a camp site? If you do then you could connect a 240v heater. Otherwise you will be looking for a LPG heater as most heaters use diesel. However again, there are some chinese versions that come with a little diesel tank where you can buy red diesel (no VAT on that) and use it Sample here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142942440753 As you will see a tiny plastic bottle where you add the diesel. I don't know what these are like, this is not a recommendation, i have seen many camper owners who have these and seem pretty good. Please research.
