Alphard Club

HI Paul I dont think it is the microphones to be honest, it would probably be a setting on the head unit or connection You may need to use google translate to hover over the japanese writing for it to translate it.

Hello mate You sound like you need a new fuel guage float in the tank. These are around £30-£40 Here is a video of how to get to it. This video is about the pump, but when watching it i can see the fuel float

@Carodragon We have a member here called @Picasso (Lee) who might of found these parts for you. if you are ever looking for anything give lee a shout who can get the part numbers for you. You can cross reference these numbers. A lot of parts are interchangeable with other toyota models

Sorry Steve ECU is the cars main computer unit ODB reader is the small device that connects to the computer and reads it, you can make changes using the ODM reader. JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market, referring to vehicles and parts made in Japan specifically for sale within Japan

Would you happen to know the part number Alex? In case Tim needs them?

Yes, once you have done them once they are easy. Just little bit pricey

What parts did you need Caroline?

Sorry i realised it was for cruise control This will be a setting on the ECU. A JDM experct could do this for you using a decent ODB reader

this video may help.. it is for a Toyota as well.. but not alphard but i would imagine them doing the same way (possibly) Please check first

also get some fine bottle washer brushes

Fiamma is the best i found. great product Porch sides can be pricey but very handy too

could be loose or a runner needs adjusting. Not unless it has been damaged, but if the door aligns up when it closed then its probably just needs adjusting. Also make sure its actually in the runners

Welcome to the club David!!

Ben Hau is the chap Looks him up on Facebook.. lives in Birmingham

i used to get this dull contantcreaking sound, its where the servo was trying to push the vent open but either trapped or servo was weak. Also i think it went away when i turned off the air circulation or put the car in cold.

another one could be similar to what Alex said and could be the Thermostat not opening

Air vent servo went on my old ANH10, you could hear it making noises behind the dash.. small motor that opens and closes hot and cold vents.. heard this happen a few times. i think access was from passenger side ( from what i remember) then behind the dash. You can see it with a torch Been a long time ago, so a bit vague on the memory

@Chris Mc I would get the brakes stripped down and cleaned, make sure the calipers are not seized causing overheating on the disks Then change disks and pads. But the caliper service is important. Another way is if you have one of those in the ear thermometer for kids, i set mine for body temp, then scan the brakes to see which one is heating up the most. If not, then I do the spit test. Gross yes, but works as you can see which one sizzles the most lol Or touch the wheel hub for any heat differences. if both radiate lots of heat then a service on them is needed. Also sounds like calipers have not been retracting from those meaty pads and the overheating on motorways. I recently changed all 4 pad sets and drove around europe.. the wheels on all 4 sides were really black when we go back, never been black like that on our previous runs, so it shows how much bedding in they need.

When i was doing it with my old minibus I told insurance and they put on the policy that it was a forever evolving campervan project which was not complete, When complete and that i register it with DVLA then I would need to inform them that it is then a proper Campervan, until then it was a project. This was with Adrian Flux

@lime Did you manage to figure it out? please let us know

We usually have a big meet, but unable to do one this year. I will look at setting up another big meet.. we around 70 Alphards turn up. quite a sight to see. Small meets are welcomed as well

looks quite good. Had a similar idea for my Land Cruiser, the infotainment is dated so a screwn like this with all the bits i need would be ideal.

good find.. Blitz do quite a few bits for Toyota

can recommend these guys too. have had custom work done there before and work is spot on.

might be the small servo that opens and closes the vents is jammed or not working. Any clicks or small noises from behind dash when changing temp? I had this on a 10 series and was accessible under the right of the glove box, maybe similar place for the 20 series
