  1. What pressure are the tyres set at ? An Alphie should not ride like a van ! The compliance may be in the suspension.
  2. That is the correct size, (95H), but you won't find much choice. What type of ride do you regard as 'best' ?
  3. Can you post a photo ? Some replacement head units do not support the rear camera !
  4. Hello Oliver, Welcome to the Forum. Do you have the original head unit ?
  5. Hello Rachelle, Welcome to the Forum.
  6. I am hoping I am not with Safeguard, as I had a windscreen replaced during the year ! Shop around, it's the only way. I agree with Peter, use the phone, not comparison websites.
  7. Hello Roger, Welcome to the Forum. I would start by renewing the battery in the Smart Fob (which won't start the van). A dud battery in the ignition fob will not prevent the vehicle starting, but will affect the locks. If a new battery is ineffective, you may need to get the key reprogrammed. Imho, a auto locksmith is the way to go, but I have seen a process on this Forum, possibly with mixed results Change them one at a time, not together to minimise mishaps.
  8. It is OK to sell here, but check the Requirements to Sell in the sales section. If your advert does not comply with those requirements it will be hidden from view.
  9. I think in Toyota Techstream you can turn off beeps, or at least change them. Techstream is free, but you will need the correct cables. Search the Forum for tips on which cables to buy.
  10. Hello Remigijus, Welcome to the Forum.
  11. I think the dimensions are centimetres, not mm. Would you like me to change it for you, or you can edit it yourself.
  12. Hello Michael, Welcome to the Forum. I used to visit Rijswijk while working with Emerson Process. Small world ! I am not readily aware of any other Dutch members; so you may be the first. Do you intend to import from Japan or the UK ?
  13. Hello Mark, Welcome to the Forum. With such a young, brand new, vehicle take it back to the dealers and have it fixed under warranty. There will be very few owners in the UK with a vehicle so new.
  14. Hello Zak, Welcome to the Forum. If you bought from a business, take it back and get the issues fixed. I have an earlier model; you may need to press set. Are you sure you have the adaptive cruise option ? How do you know ? The tailgate and power doors are 'power hungry' so make sure your battery is fully charged.
  15. If your wheels and tyre combination are NOT to OEM sizes your speedo and odometer will be inaccurate. Try willtheyfit, or something similar, as you can check errors 'magnitude' with non-standard tyre wheel combinations.
  16. Hello Meg, Welcome to the Forum
  17. Brightness button sequence. Lower row, second from left, two sliders.
  18. My guess is Yes.
  19. I agree, the ECU does not' 'learn' your driving style per se; but it does calculate the average fuel consumption, and that is largely affected by historic driving style (i.e. speed, terrain, distance and load). Accordingly, it is that historic average that is used to calculate an estimate of the remaining distance that could be covered. The ECU cannot possibly 'know' future driving style' and has no other variable to use in the calculation. If those variables above change significantly, so will the accuracy (if one is needed) of the prediction. As the 'history of driving', my term, is the main basis for the prediction; resetting the trip, thereby deleting the history, and starting a new history, will discount previous data and base a new calculation on the new data it will acquire over the next few miles. I have a vehicle with two trips (as many do), and by resetting one periodically, the difference between single journey data and, say monthly or quarterly data can be compared. It is surprising what the difference is. I agree the remaining distance can increase, If resetting the trip it can only increase, initially. I use to get much amusement from increasing the remaining distance on a previous 5.3l V12 machine ! Smiles per mile until I arrived at the petrol station.
  20. So at least you will be less concerned. Does this price for Oem disks and pads ? I have another vehicle. It's very quick, and has Brembo brakes. Stops fantastic, and so does my bank balance when maintenance is needed !
  21. Hello Joanna, No, they won't come loose; and you won't get them off if you need to ! Dark road, raining, at night, deal with it now. I carry a very large toque wrench; but I cannot set it that high !
  22. Agreed. I will be having my local Main Dealer do my change.
  23. About 75 to 80 foot/pounds. I think. It is recorded somewhere in this Forum.
  24. I forgot to mention; you needed to search for the exact address. eightseaters.blogspot.com Try that
  25. Computer guesstimates are based on previous use and driving style. Change either and it will throw the calculation out. To clarify what Neville (I think) means. Fill to brim, Note mileage, Run, the further the better, but you do not need to run the tank way down, Fill to brim, Note mileage. Calculate. Distance driven divided by fuel used (amount that was used to refill). Use your normal driving style and normal routes and normal loading. If you can, reset the fuel history before you start the test.
