Alphard Club

bumping this to see if anyone else has had theirs done.. many alphards will need to have this recall done

i was with AF for a similar quote, weird why some are extortionate

I believe that if the car is over 10 years then wont need IVA, only an MOT, only Fog light and possibly speedometer converted. I am sure there will be some kind of import tax, as you cpuld sell the car a month later, but i am not sure on what this would be. there are a few import specialists like Algys https://www.algysautos.com/import-scheme-import-any-car-into-the-uk-from-japan

Definitely we should set one up, maybe at Gaydon Museum? as this has a great car park, held many of other car meets there. Almost mid country too and easy to get to.

welcome along

Welcome to the Alphard Club mate

Hi guys May i remind you if you have any car related issues you add them to the correct section of the forum and not in the introductions section. That way your questions will get answered properly. many thanks

I used to love it when she shouted at me. great system

you can polish them up to remove the fogging see this kit https://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/clay-bars/meguiars-one-step-headlight-restoration-kit-342649.html

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.

I cant see any issues as long as you get the right bed and it folds/slides

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

did you ever figure this one out mate?

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

welcome to the Alphard Club Neil.

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.
