Alphard Handbook for Sale
Hi Will, With the greatest of respect, you are considering buying a vehicle over 20 years old, and intended solely for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM). You cannot expect it to be a UK spec vehicle. Having said that, if you buy it, you will be surprised how sophisticated it will be.

Alphard Handbook for Sale
If it is the JPNZ Owners Manual it is well worth having/ No it won't. You almost certainly can't.

No, it is not to do with reading accuracy; as you say they are all an indication, that is all. I think it is to do with the petrol recirculation system ! Chris is the expert.

Front brake upgrade
The handbook cites free play, i.e. no pressure increase as 1 to 6mm. Distance to floor when pressed with 490N should be greater than 59mm. Hopefully, this data may help you assess the brake travel. I believe comparing the brakes of any vehicle against any other dissimilar vehicle is not that meaningful as there are so many variables. So owners, I believe, have fitted braided brake pipes to improve the feel. A serious point, check you have the driver's seat adjusted correctly to your physical characteristics.

Be cautious 'brimming' the tank. For more information you will need to search Chris.ac for his explanation as to why it is not best practice.

What does this do?
As Paul says, it appears to be the Clearance Sensor (as noted on the label). The function is known as the Sonor on the air conditioner dash panel. The function is switchable, and the distances adjustable (at least on the HDD unit).

Headlight lenses
Well done. It is worth all the effort once done. At one time, I was trying to consider how to make some removeable covers for mine, but didn't pursue it.

Rear seat removal
Hello Will, Welcome to the Forum. The seat carriers are above the floor level, the sliders (that they run in) are level with the floor. You should consider an 8 seater if you want to reverse the middle seats. A few 7 seaters have, I have read, got reversible middle seats, but are quite rare.
