Cathy, They are all imports. To date, Toyota have never sold Alphards and Vellfires in the UK. That is why Toyota in Truro won't work on yours.

Thanks Nov, you saved me a lot of time. I did find this, and lots of other stuff that confused me. In trying to help Kornus, I spent ages waiting for the DVLA. I discovered I never received my own V5 !!! Fortunately, the car is registered to me. Phew

Sorry to hear your news. How heavy was the hit ? I assume you need more than a new front bumper .

I pay £280. I looked for my V5 yesterday evening; but have not found it yet. I also checked DVLA, for my vehicle information. It's all there; but not the emission level ! What class of vehicle or you trying to register it as.

I wonder whether the business owner of DyerNostics realises although the name is meaningful and personalised, it is also ambiguous !

DyerNostics ! Bodmin.

Hello Cathy, Welcome to the Forum. If your Alphie is still under warranty, surely you should return it to your seller and have the work done under the warranty. Having said that, I know many Toyota dealers are 'huffy' about working on imports. My local dealer is Snows. They have a larger Toyota dealership in Plymouth. I'll check see if there is a Toyota dealer in Truro. There is also a Toyota specialist in Bodmin. His name escapes me but I can find it if you need it. He should be OK with the engine side of things. Which warning light is one ? Engine light I assume ? V6 3.0L or 4 cylinder 2.4L. Hybrid ?

Welcome to the Forum. Looks gorgeous. Happy Motoring.

Hi Jenny, Seems like Churchill have got themselves confused. Just be aware I was with Aviva until I informed them of my rear conversion. Kaput ! Have you converted ? If so, beware.

You're right, this is covered elsewhere. Try to Search Head Unit Replacement. My understanding is that extra care is needed with the Theatre System, otherwise certain features could be lost. I'll sure you'll get lots of replies, but, in the meantime try the search.

What code(s) are you getting.

I have a 3L, tax is £280. I have been reading the V149 form on DVLA, but need to check my understanding of it. I believe the 3.5L is in the next highest tax band !

What engine type do you have ? Do you believe 240g to be correct ? DVLA will have tax rate / emissions info; but probably not for an Alphard / Vellfire. I'll check. But it should have a table for 240g. Bare in mind that your vehicle tax will be based on the year of manufacture, not the year imported / first registered in the UK.

I believe Bank 2 is the one closest to the radiator. Cylinder 2 is on the left hand side.

Small point, Aviva insured my Alphie until it was converted; then they asked me find another insurer. That's why I moved to Scenic. Prior to that I was happy with Aviva.

Hi Steve, Welcome to the Forum.

Hi Shane, Check out the recent posts, that should give you an idea.

Try Scenic, it's a subsidiary of LV, specialising in conversions.

Briefly looking at the EPC drawings, the struts seem to be the same for the manual tailgate and for the power assisted one. Check before you order !

That's the MET IGN fuse. Don't ask !

Hi Stephen, Glad you got it fixed. For the benefit of others, which fuse was it ?

I assume you have a V6 as there is no timing belt on the 4 cylinder engine.
