Alphard Club

I am using Hankook Ventus Primes. When i purcahsed my Alphard it still had the jap tyres on and they were dreadful in the wet. Bing front wheel drive they were useless. I bought Hankooks all round and have been very happpy. The grip now is fantastic. I purchased these as they had a good wet rating too.

The boot will keep you dry anyway, use it all the time in the rain with the kids. They climb over abd i can stick their rain coat on. So as you will be mainly lounging about than cooking then i say side door.

Hi Ron Welcome to the Alphard Club. You will be making a wise choice getting an Alphard. They are amazing in terms of reliability. It doesn't mean yo can skimp on choosing the right car as there will be a few that have not been looked after. So you will need to take your time. Make sure you get t see the original auction sheets if it's a new import and make sure its got a Bimta or Jevic mileage verification certificate. There are a few bad apples out there. Let us know how you get on.

rub down and lacquer is the best way to go for sure.

always though fiamma awnings were good.

I usually use blueprint stuff from local factors.

Pumpkin looks alright. Good price. Do you know where to get the harness for it? would i need a beatsonic harness to keep the camera? those are more than the unit.

xtrons screens can vary, some are quite dim in the daytime and hard to see when you have sunglasses on. Most systems are made by the same factory. Pioneer do one but does not have Android opsys

I would look at investing in dial faces. You may find those stickers will be a pain. Also, in an event of an accident, dont let your insurance wiggle their way out of paying. Just saying.

Sample email sent above.. make sure you edit the bits that need editing carefully.

There are 2 email addresses you need to contact. ap-overseas@mail.toyota.co.jp cr@toyota.co.uk Make sure you add both emails by cc-ing one of them. No point contacting Toyota GB directly, these emails will work. This order needs to come from Toyota Japan which will hit Toyota Europe, Toyota Europe then instruct Toyota GB, who then instruct a dealer to contact you with an appointment. You will get a call by Toyota GB before it goes to the dealer though. The dealer needs to receive instructions booklet on how to change the airbag etc.

I have never worked mine out and never used it. I presumed it was all connected to the TV tuner under passenger seat. Not electronically minded enough.

here is another one https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/toyota/alphard-vellfire-42427

I have always wished mine was dial converted because i swear my current set up is affecting the gearbox set up.

Seconded. Ben can get all the parts needed

Welcome along Ben. You Come Highly recommended. Feel free to add some contact info mate.

Please let us know how you got on

Before the winter comes I would recommend it. During summer is not an issue. Either Waxoyl or Dinitrol are good. What i did with mine was give it a good power wash underneath to make sure it was all clean and bone dry. Should be around £300-400

I have heard good things about Direct Line, The only issue is not all phone operators can find the car in their lists for some reason. But they definitely deal with Alphards
