    Very Interesting.

    A wooden dipstick, perhaps. A kebab skewer

    Hello Modhgal, Welcome to the Forum. There is a section in the forum where members can recommend garages that they used successfully for their Alphards. Check it out, there may be a recommended garage near you. You can always try your local Toyota dealer. Most will not work on imports, but some will.

    Hello Kevon, Welcome to the Forum.

    Don't be sorry. We are all learning everyday. By the very nature of the Forum, responders never know the level of knowledge / understanding the person they are trying to help has. What ground clearance do you currently have ? 160mm is about normal.

    You may wish to consider an alternative solution, as I did a couple of years back. I came across some wedge shaped 'cushions' for use in hospitals to change the inclination of the patients. The set was of 3 or 4 units with differing profiles, providing various combinations of inclined angle. I didn't proceed with the purchase, on ebay or Amazon, so cannot provide photos.

    200k miles. Wow. Fantastic. That gives us all lots of hope.

    Thank you. I still don't quite understand these missing models from the Toyota handbook. In my distant memory I do recall the gearbox upgrade; part of my reason to buy the facelifted V6, I vaguely remember. I find the manual very good, but these omissions have cast doubt in my mind of its accuracy.

    Hello Merverik, Welcome to the Forum.

    Hello David, Thanks for this. I am aware of what you describe. What I was not aware of was that a V6 model was produced with a 4 speed auto. I am assuming it is not a CVT box. With LSDs it must have been a top of the range model too. Perhaps other members can shed more light on this very interesting version of our beloved Alphard.

    Thank you. You learn something every day. Very interesting that your model is not listed in the Toyota Owner's Manual.

    Hello Ceri, Are you absolutely sure your V6 AWD is a 4 speed. According to my Toyota Owners Manual, all the Generation 1 V6's came with a 5 speed auto, and all the 4 cylinders with a 4 speed auto. Are you a new owner ? Some new owners do not realise where to place the gear selector. It should be moved to the D position. and NOT moved to the right (which will select gear 4, and cause excessively high fuel consumption).
  13. Rojie
    Wow. How long did it take you to do both.

    Hi Lee, I missed that ! Eyesight or age, probably both ! MNH

    Hello David, Welcome to the Forum. 5 speed auto. Is the van on OEM spec wheels and tyres? Lowering the van will not help. Highering the van will be 1200 to 1500! The switches for my heated seats are in the centre console (between the front seats) Heated seats are model dependent. AWDs also need all wheels and tyres to be of the same size and wear, otherwise gremlins can set in.

    Hello Manshah, Welcome to the Forum.

    Hi Alex, If they are shot, there are. However, I do another two vehicles every year, and it takes a lot of effort. I use Turtle Wax Headlight Lens Repair and Renew. Works great but is time consuming. Good luck whichever approach you take.

    Hi Oscar, Maybe, but you didn't quote in either. The 55 litre 'limit' seems very common.
  19. Rojie
    124.2 euros a litre is cheap ? 110 pounds a litre wow. I can fill my tank for that ! A typo methinks

    For information, this was an eight seater, and now it is a 5 seater.

    My antivirus does not like this link. PROCEED WITH CARE.

    Eightseaters is a great site for Gen 1 owners.

    Hello Deb, Welcome to the Forum. If your vehicle is a 2007, can you please change your profile.
