  1. could be a anti collision sensor, my wifes yaris has it by the mirror.
  2. i am wondering if its actually a camera. Could be one of a few things ( dont know the official names for these) Lane assist Automatic Dipped beam / or high beam pedestrian alert Autowipe You have to check these options as well as Alphards had many options available. Never heard of camera being fitted, Only tesla and very new stuff have video recording. Do you have any strange buttons by your knee?
  3. never seen one of these before. does it look oem like factory fitted?

Today I talk about the many reasons why this approach to practical and luxury cars is just better. #JDM #Minivan #Toyota Want to see your car on the channel?

  9. Compare the best new & used car deals with Carwow: https://bit.ly/New-Car-Deals-0803 Mat has got his hands on one of the most luxurious cars he’s ever reviewed - the all-new Lexus LM! It’s an all-new MPV from Lexus, and Mat is about to find out if this luxurious people carrier has what it takes to compete with top-class saloons such as the Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series. When it comes to the design, there isn’t much to say about the rear or sides. It comes with smatterings of chrome about the place, along with a rear spoiler, but otherwise, this people carrier is relatively boxy and nondescript. However, once you step around to the front, you’re greeted by Lexus’s trademark HUGE grille! This helps make it super imposing on the road, and it also comes flanked by high-tech matrix LED headlights. The interior quality for the driver is pretty decent. There’s lots of leather throughout the cabin, as well as a large infotainment screen and digital dial display. There’s a fairly decent amount of interior storage, too, and the seats are incredibly comfortable. However, step into the back and you'll find that comfort is absolutely next level. We’ve got our hands on the range-topping Takumi edition, which comes with just two business class-style seats. There’s a huge screen that spans the length of the cabin, coupled with several speakers, including two huge speakers built into each door! The seats can recline fully flat, window shades are built in, and there is absolutely loads of storage! This is truly the way to travel in first-class style on the road. When it comes to the engine choice, there’s only one. It’s a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine that comes with a CVT gearbox as well as an electric motor. There is the option to add an additional electric motor to offer four-wheel drive, but interestingly, both the single motor and dual motor offer 250hp! The Lexus LM isn’t cheap. It starts from £90,000, raising to £113,000 for the range-topper! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

  11. Today we are going to look at how easy it is to replace the fan belt on a Toyota Alphard/Vellfire 3.5cc.
  12. Today we are going to see what 5 hidden features within the Toyota Alphard/Vellfire 20 series has.
  13. Today we are looking at how to remove the front door panel of the Alphard/Vellfire 20 series.
  14. sensors are on top of the dash itself, either the black dome or the silver sensor, i forget which one. Top Windscreen sensor is for Autowipe wipers
  15. You may have accidentally turned off or lowered the auto lights setting in the infotainment system. Finding it maybe tricky, i use Google translate over the camera helps.
  16. Silly question but i presume you have the lights switch on Auto? Sorry for asking Their is a sensor on the dash, is this covered?
  17. Agree with roger on the 20% A good carpenter with a plan in his hand and decent lightweight materials and fittings could do the job and if its cash in hand do it for the right price. If you want a converter then shop around and play the game to get best deal.
  18. Hi Stephen.. another local member. I see people some peole would only buy from a dealer with a fresh import. I recently sold an alphard with bags of history but when i bought the car as a fresh import it had no history. I would rather buy an alphard that has a few years MOT history and service history, that way you know the car is good as it has had a few years history behind it. Trick is, if your gut feeling is bad, then walk away. Also make sure the last think you check is the vx report, this will show you all the past recalls, inspections, when it was auctioned (they auction used cars a lot) and you can see the car condition reports everytime it gets auctioned, which will show the last auction before it came over. that way you can really check to see if it has had any damage. Do some research on these reports as they use code numbers on each blemish which tells you the depeth of the damage. Its complex but very informative. Don't be scared off with them, very good car indeed, just need to make sure you get the right one. One last thing, Usually as soon as imports come to this country, within 6 months rubbers start to fail because the roads here are shocking here compared to Japans roads. A used UK Alphard would show this up and more than likely already had these replaced. i.e Rear Axle Bushes, Droplinks, Wishbone bushes, steering rack bush. Both cars I had needed some of these after 6 months. Not the cars fault but our roads and A lot of Alphards would have original bushes. Rear Axle Bushes are always the first. see my guide here:
  19. I would shop around a bit more. I converted a vehicle twice the size and the materials were 6-7k so i cannot see labour being 10k Fridge £600 Awning £600 Seating Foam and Faux Leather £600 (big 3 man seats x 2) Electrics inc batteries £500 Woodwork by joiner £3k inc materials using vohringer & Poplar (done professionally) Flooring £100 Gas box and bottle £200 Sink £120 Lots of nicknacks A lot of these prices would apply to you but the woodwork i had done is both sides of van. You would have a lot less woodwork If you want a pop top then these are probably in the region of 3k fitted. A lot of these converters will overprice to match up with the current market.
  20. sounds like the brake pedal switch is faulty, The switch (i think above brake pedal) would be the switch that tells the car you have pressed the brake pedal and illuminate brake lights and transmission that you have depressed the brake pedal then allowing you to change gear because you have applied the brakes (saftey) On another car i had a similar issue and is was above the brake pedal and i kicked it with my foot and broke it.. but this was not an alphard but in a lot of cases very similar. If you brake lights do not come on when applying brakes then I would be looking at this switch first. Broken ABS sensor would not stop brake lights appearing, that would be a poor safety feature by Toyota.
  21. if the BS sensor is broken then i am suprised there are no warning lights or even limp mode However, i would go with ABS sensor first. make sure its plugged in properly or not had any damage.
  22. when it comes to sensors then oem parts would be best, but there will be sources that will be cheaper if you spend the time looking around. i cross ref parts across different Toyotas and found that buying parts from a Rav4 which had compatibale parts was cheaper. For instance i saved a packet when i needed 2x front wheel hubs which were for a Rav4 and same part number. Also if i am buying oem i use Toyota Parts direct or even Lexus Parts direct which had different prices, same company but different car, but same part.
