Problems with insurance
Rojie replied to Victoria22's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
I am still with Aviva (on other vehicles), but they did fail to renew when I had the conversion done. -

Speedo conversion to mph (Chip)
Rojie replied to Cookienomnom's topic in Toyota Alphard & Vellfire Club Forum (2008 - 2015)
Picasso should be able to tell you which chip and where to buy it. He will also advise you to solder it into the circuit. -
Problems with insurance
Rojie replied to Victoria22's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
Hello Victoria, Welcome to the Forum. There is a whole lengthy thread on Insurance. You can search from the top rhs of your home page. If yours is not a camper conversion it just needs a little persistence; preferably avoiding the on-line quote engines. -

2006 2.4l with LPG- high spec conversion for sale
Rojie replied to IanH's topic in Alphard Buy & Sell
Hello Igor, Welcome to the Forum. You send a Private Message. -
OK, good. But 2008 is a crossover year from the Generation 1 models to the Generation 2. Take a look at Jay's photo above. Does your rear quarter have that styling 'crease', or is it smother. 4 inch square, as in Jay's photo, is probably correct. They require a specific plug to fit in the socket correctly. As in the photo, they will not fully close while plugged in.

What vehicle do you have ? What year ? Alphard were not made in 1998. Have you got a 'proper' EHU connection, or a home-made type ?

Fuse 14 is, as you know, for the Panel; 'switch illumination and air conditioner illumination'. Fuses, as we all know, blow for a reason. If your unit has become faulty, it may have blown the fuse again. Despite needing to be a contortionist, it may be worth checking it again. If it has blown again I suggest you now have a hard fault. Normal approach would be substitution (which can be risky even if you have a spare) or isolation. Are you sure everything else is working apart from that control panel, and what it controls ?

Insurance Companies for Your Toyota Alphard
Rojie replied to Alphard Club's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
Hello Colin, Welcome to the Forum. As an import, many of the on-line sites will not recognise an Alphard. I suggest you shortlist a few companies, and there are many examples within this forum, and phone them. You can, of course, have a broker do all that for you; but at a premium. -

Original wheels in black
Rojie replied to Wozzer100uk's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
The offset above is correct. The wheels / tyres are one of the standard sizes. It is very important to have the minimum speed rating. There is an opinion that says campers are heavier than the standard. Some, including myself, hold the opinion that the camper is probably slightly lighter against a fully loaded eight adult seater. However, some of us do fit XL tyres for added 'safety'. XL are extra load, not extra large ! Get your tyre fitter to confirm correct fit; but he will. Do not forget to tell your insurance company if fitting non-OEM type wheel/tyre combinations. Otherwise you may find your insurance invalidate. -
Original wheels in black
Rojie replied to Wozzer100uk's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
Try and stay with the OEM sizes for wheels and tyres; or very close. The OFFSET is very important; it is normally marked on the inside of the wheel rim. Check the OEM value. Fitting larger wheels with a smaller sidewall tyre height (55/60/65) will harden the ride somewhat. You may wish to check before doing anything with your insurer. Nice new wheels can increase premiums, and do not forget to fit a locking nut on each wheel. -
First experience of an Alphard and it's not good
Rojie replied to ljstevens363's topic in General Chat
Hello Lewis, Welcome to the Forum. We are all so sorry to hear of your situation. Did you buy privately, or from a business ? If a business, contact them immediately. What else can you do ? So it was cranking before the ran battery down ? Was it a normal fast crank, or somewhat sluggish ? It's unlikely to help, but have you tried to use jump leads ? On many Alphies, even a low battery will prevent the van cranking. I'll see what I can do to help; but probably nothing. If you can, please send me your phone, registration and exact location by Private Message. -
Oil leak from rear differential area
Rojie replied to Chris Rich's topic in Toyota Alphard (08-15) Technical Guides
You could try Dyernostics in Bodmin. Further away from home, but not that much. He must be worth a phone call. -
