I thought I would see how much this cost through the Amayama(?) route. Well done Hydro. I couldn't even find the part in the EPC ! I'm glad it worked out well for you. All that effort and risk, you deserve a happy ending.

Hi Phil, You won't believe this ! I just went outside to check the reflectors on my Alphie. My Alphie is not there ! When you get to my age these things happen ! It is currently locked away in the Convertors premises ! As soon as I can answer your question; I will.

Hello Starider, You raise a very interesting point. Thank you. I have a 2006 Alphie which has two rear fog lights fitted. It does have an MOT. Tonight I will check whether my fog lights are reflective, or not, when illuminated by a torch or headlight. I expect they will be, but if not I will be having some harsh words with the importer of my vehicle. As you say, the DVLA instructions to MOT testers is very clear on this issue.

If both your slide doors are electric; they are independently fused. I think the fuses are in different fuse boxes too ! Are both your slide doors electric; that is you have two separate switches near the steering wheel ?

I may be wrong here, but I believe it can't. Ldrego, who is cuttothechase on youtube, put up a video (he has several) I I believe I recall the early evolution one cannot be modified. The later evolution one can, I believe. Ask Ldrego on here or try and contact though his youtube channel. (He prefers youtube)

Be aware that changing your wheel size could affect you speedo accuracy. It could also alter the clearances within the wheel arches. There is a website, Willtheyfit, that is very useful in planning any wheel tyre size combination changes. Offset is 39mm.

Have you checked if it is in the rear lhs locker where the jack is ?

Kwik Fit will test your Alphie Tested my ford for leaks before regassing it. No leaks, you pay for the refrigerant; otherwise they give you a verbal report for to decide what to do, and where to go !

Dewatte, I have a different head unit; but once you have tuned in a station, just press and hold a channel number for a few seconds. I can't remember if it beeps or not. That should preset that freqency to that channel.

Somewhere on this Forum, if my memory serves me, is a technical list of the rear camber geometry. Hopefully, if you search for it, perhaps try camber, you will find it and it ay be of some help.

Hi and welcome to the Forum. Please search this site. I feel sure you will find answers to most of the queries you will have.

SupaDave, This is the usual HDD head unit. (Jenny's is far more rare). Try reading eightseaterblog.com for a very good and detailed explanation and understanding of your unit. You can get a frequency expander (£20) that will give you most UK FM stations (but not all). To fit it, the headunit and dash nacelle have to come out. I suspect you have a powerful and close transmitter if you are getting several stations without an expander.

I only get radio 2 on mine head unit (could be worse!), and have no plans to upgrade the HDD unit. Dewatte, I have read somewhere, or seen it on youtube, how the erase the HDD recordings. I'll try and find it again, but don't hold your breath !

If you go to the EPC, you can chose the model year, ie. 2002 to 2005, or 2005 to 2008.

Hi, I checked the gearbox drawings and you appear to be correct. Sorry for my mistake. The part looks like a small oil tank ! Goo Luck.

Hi. I got it from the Toyota Alphard EPC. I'll check for the gearbox.

I just took a look at the epc data (for the model which I THINK you have). I believe the part number is 15014-28020 Please do not use this number without checking it thoroughly. Are you aware of the epc data ?

I just checked if this unit is the same as Jenny's (Smedley). It is. I suggest you send her a personal message, perhaps she will be able to help you.

Hello, and welcome to the Forum. Dissatisfaction (or total confusion) with the head unit is not uncommon ! Do you know what model Alphie you have ? I find the CD auto recording feature really convenient. Eightseaterblog.com has published a very good guide to the (usual) HDD head unit. I think Eightseater covers how to delete tracks. However, your unit is a different model. Is there any type number on the bezel of the unit ? However, his blog may be helpful to you. I suggest you give it a try. Jenny, a member, has the same unit, I think ! I need to check and ask if she has an English manual for it. She certainly discovered how to change the language to English; which ought to help you. Be careful if you decide to replace your unit. DO the research, as with many replacement units you may / will lose the cameras and steering control functions. There is lots of info on this Forum. Happy reading.

Hello Mick, Which courtesy light are you referring to ? I ask as there are several. I assume you are referring to the light cluster near the rear view mirror.

Hi again Chris, I have two Japanese HDD manuals with almost 800 pages. Initially I found them such hard work, I fell out of the habit of using them. Now I know about Google Translate and Google Lens I will start to use them again. Thanks for reminding me I have them.
