Agree, not the most easiest. Pooped a video on here for reference -
Icarsoft for Toyota https://www.icarsoft.eu/Toyota-Diagnostic-Tools works on JOBD and also has live reading so you can see a live view of sensors. I had 2 of these and work a treat. You can buy on ebay or from them direct.

Alphard adventure spec?
Alphard Club replied to Philmagicman's topic in Toyota Alphard Technical Guides
Hi Phil yes this stuff will be available but you just need to get the part numbers and you can either buy from Toyota or aftermarket, The part numbers you can use to cross reference. It's important you get the right part number and then you will certainly find bits quite easily. The wheels you can get on ebay, used ones. Even scabby ones you can pick up cheap and get them powder coated. On another note, you may have wheel spacers on those wheels so if you put origional wheels on then I suggest making sure the spacers are removed. You should be able to sell those wheels very easily and old suspension which should pay for the replacement parts as HKS is very popular and those wheels do look cool, albeit uncomfortable lol -
not in english but you will get the idea..

Yes thats correct, we did this ourselves and requires a JOBD reader (icarsoft do one for Japanese Toyota) you top it up on the side sump plug until the fluid comes out the bottom sump plug and stops dripping. put sump plugs back in and run to a temprature then open the plug again and let the warm fluid drain out until it stops dripping. The warm temprature makes the fluid expand. its weird. There is a proper manual sheet for this where you follow bit by bit. I will try and find it

the vellfire had slightly different suspension so may be best waiting for a vellfire to pop up. the lights will work but not sure if the grill and bumper are the same for them to fit in.

Locking All Doors At Night Without Setting Alarm
Alphard Club replied to Geralt's topic in Toyota Alphard Camper Discussions
if you lock the car using keyfob then this will set the alarm... but if you lock from inside (drivers inside lock) then it shouldn't. Try it at home. I have done this with other toyotas so probably the same. -
alphard smelling old
Alphard Club replied to Andrey's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
i would get a AC bomb and run it through your system I would also use AirVidox ( https://airvidox.com/ ) which is a potent odour eliminator, can get rid of dog smell or tobacco and other nasty niffs, basically you mix the 2 compounds and leave overnight in the car, then air out car totally. many car dealers use it to get rid of smells from used cars. if you get the fragrance be careful not to spray and sniff.. its very concentrated. so use little bit on car first. -
CarVX vehicle not found
Alphard Club replied to Spk's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
i do remember when doing mine i had done it wrong a couple of times. Forget what it was now. Have you tried it without the "dash"? -
ROOF MONITOR
Alphard Club replied to dave murrell's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
i cannot think of anything that could replace it and I guess leaving it there is better than having an imprint in the roof lining. -
more like professionally fitted kits.. similar to LPG. The tank would be most major hurdle. But not likely to happen until we get the infrastructure first

Buying an alphard - advice
Alphard Club replied to Kerryn's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
if you intend to buy then i would get a CARVX report done here you will need a VIN number from the seller, you can get a proper report. -
Not doubting your fitter but have you asked the same question to other fitters around your area? just to confirm this?

Recently finished a 4 stage detail on the paintwork (i am not a detailer so don't beat me up) 2 x wash with tfr and snow foam jet wash off Meguiars Clay bar decontimination (Amazing how much comes off) Meguiars Compound with machine and hand wiped off Megiuars Polish with machine and hand wiped off Meguiars Liquid Wax (Polymer wax) sponged on and hand wipe off Final buff with sheepskin buffer took around 8 hours not including roof, that still needs doing as too hot. arms like popeye now. But wow, the car looks sooo deep black now and had loads of comments from passers by

Transmission Fluid Change for the 3.5 V6 (Not 2.4) ANH20 Alphard / Vellfire uses ATF WS and has been quite hard to get hold of. I have seen a Toyota Dealer selling it for £25 a litre on amazon, yes you read that right. As its hard to get hold of they are making the most out of it. I have just bought 7 litres for my Series 2 Alphard (bear in mind Alphard 1st series uses different fluid!!!) https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-genuine-ws-atf-fluid-1l/ Lexus Parts Direct sell it for just over £10 a litre with a few quid delivery. A pound cheaper that Toyota Parts Direct. lol Sometimes this does go on back order as there is a shortage ( an additive shortage) so get some now or put yourself on back order if they run out. Other prices i have seen are £15 per litre, so Lexus Parts Direct have a decent price.
