I couldn't with car scanner. Also, I couldn't get it to work with the jdm protocol, only on basic obd connection. Did give useful info on the fuel trims though.

Handbook now sold and flying to Canada. Cheers

Hi. I don't have a problem mailing it to Canada but no idea the likely cost. I can suss it out but maybe Picasso is right in saying get it directly from the publisher?

Hi, yes it's still available....

I'd be wary. Second photo looks like the rear door doesn't match paint wise... Missing button on the dash. OK, that's minor but if its representative of the care taken... No expert on camper conversions but I think i've read sunroof cars not ideal? Could be wrong. If local then have a look but any reservations then there's plenty out there. An alphard specialist would be a better bet in my view. Best of luck.

Good for you?

I contacted them before getting mine, asking if they included undersealing. They said they don't and don't do it. That ended my interest with them..

And therein lies the evidence why the hybrid is such a gamble. Michael effectively says himself, you will get faults on a 16 year old car, no matter how good a condition it's in. Why heighten the odds of huge expense and inconvenience by adding the hybrid complexity? No offence to MB intended. It must have been heartbreaking to have to do that.

Personally I'd avoid the hybrid. Great of new and under warranty but you are highly likely to be up the creek with no paddle if it goes wrong. A few pounds more on fuel will be far cheaper in the long run. As for where to buy, do your research. The supplier is as important as the vehicle. I got mine from down south - I'm in Aberdeenshire.

Yes, been a 10 year retention period for a few years now. Surprising as one of few things done in favour of the motorist....

Bought this as a spare but car sold. Part number 12204-20040. This is for the 3.0 v6 engine. £20 including postage.

Sold my Alphard so no need for this now. Used but like new as I barely looked at it. For the first generation Alphard, 2002 to 2008. £20 including postage.

Not best to get in touch with the dealer if you've only had it a week?

If someone can't get comfy in the middle row of an Alphard or vellfire then short of a long wheelbase Rolls Royce Phantom they ain't going to be comfy in any car...

Did you get anywhere with this? I can give you detail of where to get one and get it programmed, if you don't want to do the diy techstream thing.

Toyota Alphard 3.0 V6 MS Prime Selection II. Registered April 2007. Imported May 2022 through well known and respected Alphard specialist New Acre cars near Coventry. Grade 4 car. You can check them out on Facebook as they admin the main Toyota Alphard club group on there. 56500 miles. Mot to May 2024. No advisories. Transported to me in August 2022 and barely done 700 miles since. Was dry stored over winter. Has been lanoguard undersealed by Newacre. They also fitted a Stag lpg conversion kit on my request. Tank is underfloor. Newacre serviced the car, changed the cambelt and spark plugs. This Alphard is a very highly optioned one. Cream leather with alcantara inserts (I have the expensive Toyota seat covers on it, not shown in the photos), Twin sunroofs, drop down screen, remote electric open/close tailgate, remote electric sliding doors both sides (with the cable mechanisms replaced with new Toyota parts by Newacre on my request as these do fail once older. Usual parts cost £250 per side plus labour for this job). Also has cruise control (rare) , folding mirrors, smart entry and locking, cinema sound option. Reversing camera, front and overhead cameras for parking. Directional headlamps, rear fog lamps integrated to bumper reflectors. No rust or dents or dings. Very clean inside. Wheels pretty much unmarked. It's not showroom condition but it's not far off at all. Very versatile with rearmost seats lift out the way for increased luggage space and middle row swivels to face the rear. Middle row fold down to make table tops. Note it's on a private plate which will be removed if sold. Will revert to plate in the photo. Reason for sale is bought a Motorhome. Price is £9995. Located in north east Scotland, near Aberdeen.

I can give you the number of the guy who did mine. He was Dundee and came up to Aberdeen way. He programmed the key, didn't supply it though...

Pm incoming...

The lpg only saves around £10 a year... Unless its changed. Might be 20 now. I have two Subaru Outbacks (don't ask?) and the lpg one is no more than a £2 monthly saving. Can't recall exactly. Alphard lpg as well but it's half the cost of the outbacks anyway so that's a bonus.

Pm'd

Hi all. Anyone got a hint as to taking out the panel with the door, afs and mirror switches? I've got a couple of bulbs which I need to change. I know there are release tags and have a pic of the reverse side, but it isn't for coming out easily and don't want to break it. Tips and hints welcome. Thanks

I've just recently got a 2007 3.0 Alphard. Which now sits along two 3.0 Outbacks. Fair question you ask but if you're considering whole life costs, a good 15 year old alphard will be in much nicer condition than most UK used cars at the £10k price point, especially given current prices. Things will inevitably fail but it is easier to keep a mint car good than deal with your typical used and abused car. Lastly, a 10 series alphard is possibly the best equipped vehicle available without being too overloaded with all the unreliable electronic rubbish of moderns. Personal view! As a bonus the Alphard is less than half the road tax of the Outback.

Not too sure of dealers down your way but you can check any alphard detail on here : https://carvx.jp/ If you can get the chassis number from the car/dealer. Full report costs a little over £20 but the free bit will show the original registration date in Japan.

I got over the dog issue by getting the alphard seat covers. Gives a bit of peace of mind. Still cream covers all the same.....

Hi Teresa. I'm a recent buyer of my first Alphard but been looking at them for years. My own view is take the plunge now or you never will. I don't think anyone really knows how all this emissions stuff will pan out but it'll be years before they're banned completely. I live in the middle of nowhere so ulez I'm not sure about. I bought a 3.0 as my view is the mpg difference is pretty marginal in the overall scheme of things and bigger engines less stressed so more reliable over time. And it doesn't have to work so hard to pull the hefty Alphard weight. I did get mine converted to run on lpg, but this is a bit of a gamble as it gets harder to find suppliers of lpg. I thought it worth the gamble. If you're touring Europe, I understand availability can be better there. V and G trim. I believe G were supplied through Toyota own dealers, and V was independents. But someone more knowledgeable than I can perhaps shed the light. The V and G doesn't reflect any trim or equipment as such I don't think. There is a hierarchy of trim, mx, ms, mz, mzg but many of them seem to have various options so best to decide what is good for you and try to find one that meets that. You can get them from 2005 on with grey interiors, and 2007 with black, so these might be better for the bikes and any camping clobber.
