Alphard Club

We should also consider camping spots nearby or actual camping areas if we get permission.

Howdy folks! It's time we start planning for another large club meet up. If any of you remember our inaugural meet last year we had a cool convoy and over 60 Alphards & Vellfires turned up to our really successful meet at the British Motor Museum. This year we are going to attempt a much larger event and would be a good idea to get some ideas on Venues ideally mid country like midlands area. Does anyone have any good suggestions of location that can handle (and accept of course) over 100 vehicles? For me I will stick down the British Motor Museum but will list any other suggestions here for everyone to have a bit of a vote. Also if anyone would like to help us then send me a message. 1. British Motor Museum (Gaydon) 2. Castle Coombe 3. Bank House Farm Camping Site (Suggested by John L) We were also thinging of a bring your own picnic style meet where we can join in and make friends with fellow members. It was suggested at the last meet that this would be a great idea. Let's get the ball rolling, please have your say and leave a comment below.

welcome to the club Alasdair. Enjoy the Alphard when you get it.

saw this on youtube the other day... great find. Old fashioned mechanics always works

inside does it have a transponder chip?? some are replacement keys where you swap your old transponder in to the new shell. Some people break their key shell so you can buy replacement shells with blank blades with no chips in them. So best check first some key companies can clone the transponder without the car present as well

you will see some part numbers here. you can cross reference these numbers. Blue print do some decent disks, i am using them and are great

Maybe worth giving Croma security a call to confirm that is the case. New ECU is not cheap https://www.locksmiths.co.uk/find-a-locksmith/croma-locksmiths-bournemouth/ They are in Winton

hi

Welcome to the club Jacek!

@Kate B did you manage to sort this Kate??

I am not 100% but i am sure i read somewhere you have to register the 12v battery to the car. This video kind of confirms this, same goes for all Toyota and Lexus vehicles

i have added a standard link to the description

We now have an order page for our club stickers. You can order the stickers using the form below or using this link. We accept PayPal only on this form. if you cannot pay by PayPal then contact us. The sticker is a external stick (Due to Alphard's having dark tinted windows)

I always come out of these sort of places with sore throats due to the dry heating... soon as the heating comes on i always get sore throat. Covid may be additional.

I replaced mine.. made a big difference in handling. Mine were shot. Not expensive if you get aftermarket

when making a post, when filling out the details, look for the paperclip See this screensot

iCarSoft Toyota scanners work a treat and you can see live testing, if you know how to read them. Did you say you have another code appear since you had the sensors replaced?

I would of said thats sounds fuel related. But I will assume it did not bring on the EML? Are you sure the right sensors were fitted? Also as EM Light is not on then its bypassing, mechanical or wrong sensor. since the oxygen sensor output help control engine timing, combustion intervals and air to fuel ration, a faulty sensor can cause the vehicle to run rough.

There are tricks on youtube how to fix but for other toyotas etc., will be the same for the alphard. some do involve the oven or heat guns

Hi and Welcome to the club Headlight units are sealed, they will need taking apart and re-sealing. You may find a company who could do it. Only in the summer do they look fine bt will get worse over the winter. New head lights are expensive, so best to either fix or ignore or buy used (could have same issue)

Thanks to Marius for the cool video.
