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.

Hello J, Welcome to the Forum. You are very fortunate living on IOW; not least of which it is a very nice place to reside. Also, it happens to be the location of one of the best Alphard conversion the country.

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).

Hello Dave, Welcome to the Forum.

What you are enquiring about is known as an awning. A very popular topic in this forum. You can search in the search box, at the top rhs of your home page.

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.

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.

I am still with Aviva (on other vehicles), but they did fail to renew when I had the conversion done.

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.

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.

Hello Elizabeth, Welcome to the Forum. Do you mean awning ? If so there are several, at least, threads on the popular topic. You can search from the top rhs of your home page.

Just be careful stepping off a kerb to under an open tailgate ! Nev, where did you get your struts from ?

Which head-unit you you have ?

Hello Bob, Welcome to the Forum.

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 ?

Hello Helen, Welcome to the Forum. Snows Torbay quoted me; £800, at a guess. 3 or 4 years ago. I am told, the garage opposite the car park for South Devon College, in Paignton, will work on Alphies.

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 ?

Hello Gary, Welcome to the Forum. Quite a reasonable cost.
