  1. Can you please post a better photo of the dash lights ? I cannot read the symbols.
  2. Hello Anthony, Welcome to the Forum.
  3. Some masking of the k of Km/h or very difficult to detect. Mine is. But it has been done. The facia has been replaced well, but not to Toyota OEM standard. You can easily measure your odometer on motorways; just count the roadside assistance mileage posts.
  4. Could be the electric fan, that problem has also been covered in the forum quite recently. I do not think running when the reservoir is almost on minimum is very wise.
  5. Hello Linda, Welcome to the Forum. If your issue is with the Hybrid system, finding a capable facility (near by) will not be easy. Please describe the issue as clearly as you can, to help the membership to help you ! What happens, or doesn't happen ? If a non-hybrid issue you can check the recommended garages in that section.
  6. Rear bushes was a topic recently. Try and use the search box on your home page
  7. Hello Jon, Welcome to the Forum. The E5 / E10 debate continues. I have not (yet) read any negative posts regarding actual damage caused by E10. I hope that is true, because when E5 gets withdrawn we will have hundreds of me members unable to run their vans.
  8. Hello Mark, Welcome to the Forum.
  9. Paul has several good ideas. However, I was assuming you park on the public highway !
  10. Hello Jason, Welcome to the Forum. Have you been topping up regularly ? Any steam from the exhaust ? You may have an air-lock. Are there any signs of overheating ? There is a procedure, somewhere in the Forum, on how to bleed the system. There is a search box on your home page, top right.
  11. Hello Anthony, Welcome to the Forum.
  12. Snow's in Paignton, Plymouth and Exeter will work on Alphards. They are a main dealer too.
  13. I bought a windscreen cover from Fuel lagoon. You could try them.
  14. Hello Anthony, I can only speak of the earlier model, Gen 1, pre 2008. The seven seater and eight seater sit on different rails. The seven uses 4 rails, the eight seater uses five. Of course, this may not be true for the later models, so you need to check carefully.
  15. Hello Joe, Welcome to the Forum.
  16. Hello John, Welcome to the Forum. Car washes are quite inexpensive. Perhaps, as a thought, would you use the cover after the building work ? Perhaps for over wintering ? That would change the economics considerably.
  17. I can probably suggest someone near Heathrow in Uxbridge.
  18. I changed it for you. Hopefully now it is correct ! It is important to have it correct, otherwise you will not receive the help you may need.
  19. Hello Ian and Mel, Are you sure you have the correct vehicle in your profile ? I think you may have a later model.
  20. Hello Chris, I am sorry to have to inform you that you have purchased a limousine; not an off-roader. I would not even begin to think of true off-roading, even with a 4WD Alphie. Good dirt tracks maybe, nothing more severe. Wholesale modification of wheels, tyres, shockers, etc is very expensive. On standard wheel / tyre combinations you have only about 160mm ground clearance. By how much do you plan to heighten the van ?
  21. Hello Darren, Welcome to the Forum.
  22. Hello Chris, Welcome to the Forum. Get your beauty undersealed asap.
  23. I believe most of those engines used in the USA were made in the USA, and did have issues. Fortunately, these issues were not present in Japanese made engines as included in JDM imports to the UK.
  24. Hello Alex, Welcome to the Forum. This fuel debate has been ongoing since E10 was introduced. As far as I know, the FSE engine is not fitted to Alphards/Vellfires; certainly NOT the Gen 1 machines. Regarding the Gen 2, I stand to be corrected.
