Headlight lenses
Hello Alex, What an unusual question ! My thoughts ? No, and don't. Acquiring dry ice could be somewhat difficult. Transporting it even more so. It is very dangerous 'material', with all sorts of Health and Safety issues. I have used it in industry, not a easy task. Needs very good PPE. Applying it could be a nightmare, and could, maybe, just shatter the lenses.

fuel tank
Why ? Does the tank leak ? I have read many threads on this forum where the fuel level indication is questionable, and only 55 litres are needed to fill. Does it really matter, unless you run your tank down low often (which is not a good idea) ?

Help with new tyres
I run Pirelli XL on mine. Very pleased. I think you should not go with M + S, but need XL on the rear if you have a rear conversion. Tyre ratings, according to the Handbook, depend on the model (trim) you have. 95W is the minimum you need, according to the handbook.

Thermal Blinds Recommendation Please
Very similar to the one I have.

Head unit
I agree with Chris, If your unit is OEM, or suitable for Japan, the unit will search for certain satellites and never find them.

Thermal Blinds Recommendation Please
I am extremely happy with mine. I would call them mid budget, although I don't remember their cost. East to fit, easy to stow, very good blackout. They don't insulate as many internals do; but I didn't need that feature. Neither do they leave witness marks after removeable.

European breakdown cover
When I travelled frequently in Europe, not in an Alphie, I used SAGA. Multiple trips of indefinite length cover, but it was an all inclusive policy; not just breakdown.

Looking for your opinions about MOT advisories for this car
My reaction is to look for another. Some garages are excessively strict, (does it impress the DVLA), but the history could be more 'caring'. 120k is a lot of miles, but it is a Toyota. You will also need someone competent to work on it, if needed. As it is a hybrid, I would be worried about replacement battery cost, and where to have that work performed. Read Michael Brown's thread regarding battery cost. Based on what I have read about early Hybrids, I would not buy it. You ought to be able to get a Gen 1 facelift for not much more budget, albeit without a pop top. Good Luck, whatever you decide

Correct tyre speed rating for 2007 2.4G Alphy?
Hello, Apart from the cost, I would not be too worried about the speed rating provided you meet the OEM minimum. According to my Owners Handbook, and it does depend on the model you have, H or W. What some members do is fit XL tyres. They will stiffen the ride slightly, but offer less roll when cornering.

How do you reset the windows after a battery change
From memory you just lower each window, using the switch in the door for that window (not the drivers door switches). Down and up, possibly a couple of times each. If you have a moon roof you may need to do that too.

Swivel seats
Hello Krzysztof, Welcome to the Forum. You are very fortunate to have such a recent vehicle. I suspect you may be a pioneer of this model in the UK. The only company I know of that installs rotating seats in the front (in earlier models) is North Star IOW. Perhaps you should give them a call to enquire. I would be very cautious of universal plates that are designed for VWs.

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. - Undersealing near South Coast / England
