Is anyone able to help me with this? Mine is a 2003 Alphard 3.0l it would really help to have this!

It has hardly rattled over the last couple of days...typical! Will try to get some video of the rattle in the light this weekend...

72000miles....timing chain is on the list to do...

No vrc/trc

Sometimes it stays for a while - but usually if I back off the accelerator a smidge it goes again.

It is intermittent...sometimes on startup...sometimes not!

3.0L

We have loved our alphard which we bought a year ago... unfortunately it has developed an intermittent rattle...my local mechanic has had his stethoscope out and narrowed it down to the exhaust manifold area and thinks it could be be something broken off the catalytic converter? Although it could be behind this too. But the engine still purrs underneath the rattle. he is unfamiliar with the car and suggested I ask someone more specialist. I have attached a recording of the sound in full swing...although sometimes it might not occur at all...the car also seems to be quite thirsty for oil. Any thoughts? I live in East Sussex...any suggestions for someone local to look at it? IMG_7485.MOV IMG_7489.MOV

I am also looking for roof bars for my 2003 Alphard…can anyone help?

Do you know how to select aux on this unit? Can’t seem to find it as an option...

Is it possible to use audio leads in top glovebox to play music through from a phone in a 2003 Alphard? Think the leads originally connected a dvd rom player? Trying to avoid cost of having to replace whole unit!

Is it possible to use the phono input between the driver/ passenger seats in the meantime to play music from a phone? Before I embark on changing the unit itself...

Thanks for posting that link and video...having watched the video reckon I will buy the unit and give it a go!

I have had a quote today to do this...but a bit expensive for me. I was wondering whether anyone had a recommendation for a car audio specialist who might be able to do this at a lower price point!
