  1. Mine's not 4 x4 though, so not sure if that would make a difference? I got my readings from the aftermarket handbook you can buy from JPNZ
  2. They couldn't do mine very well even when i gave them the measurements...actually made it worse and I had to go elsewhere to get it rectified. Still wasn't great. it seems they always want to pull left. What did make a massive difference for me was new tyres that were balanced properly. The torque setting was 103nm. It's felt loads better since.
  3. Agreed...as a 6 seater it is perfection though!
  4. https://www.autojapspares.co.uk/toyota/alphard-2002-2008/0i-petrol I've bought from these several times. All good.
  5. https://www.japeurocarparts.co.uk/search.php?id=0&vid=2117&make=7&modelID=2104&id=0#results Just Google stuff......
  6. Are they a tight fit or do they rattle at the bottom like mine do lol?
  7. Superb job! Well done for putting in the hours. Mine ususally takes 4.5 hrs to wash and wax, no machines and thats long enough for me.
  8. Just put the car in PARK everytime you stop. Easy to do, and safe. I also always apply the park brake...seen to many videos of automatic cars rolling off down hills (usually USA youtube vids)
  9. I also have the same issue, same side....bizarre!
  10. Anti static rod ...or use your auto rear door opening to dive in lol. I have it too, but seems to come and go at certain times.
  11. That mattress looks a good fit!
  12. Have you checked the obvious coins and bits of crap knocking around in the various cubby holes/ashtray etc? Try emptying it all out to see if it makes a difference.... Also try the plastic fascia on the OUTSIDE of the car between the bonnnet and the body(underneath the wipers)
  13. That's without motorway. With motorway I've had 410 miles from a tank.
  14. 3 litre alphy -v mz so bit heavier... I go from brim to warning light on every tank for the last 18 months. It takes pretty much 60 litres every time, and I do between 315 and 330 without motorway-Pretty much same journey day in day out. 322 mile on average. 5.36 mpl 60 litres is 13.21 gallons so: 24.37 mpg average £1.80m per litre as I only ever use Super=£8.17 per gallon= 33.5 pence per mile Doesn't seem too bad to me. Would it be wortyh paying to have LPG system installed?
  15. You absolutely must have it undersealed...preferably before putting any real miles on it. They don't use salt/grit on the roads in Japan, so no need to underseal. Quick google:https://www.cleanerscentral.co.uk/cleaner/962169/rustbuster-of-east-anglia https://www.chassiscare.co.uk/truck-car-services https://www.fyple.co.uk/company/rustbuster-of-east-anglia-2llesuu/ Ring them up and have a chat about it.
  16. Looks superb!
  17. I can vouch for furniture polish, it worked a treat on mine but does smell a bit nasty for a while. Silicone spray may be a better approach.
  18. Ah, think i'm beginning to understand. So not only is there a chip in the button cluster with the battery in it, but there is a chip in the blade section embedded in the molded plastic. (centre right key)
