Agree with Lee. Try cadence braking until you know the cause and have it rectified.

As I said, there are none. What do you need it for ? Picasso will supply part numbers, if needed. Just ask him.

Nev makes a very good point If you do have smart locks, and approach with a key on your person the doors will unlock. Not all Alphies have a powered tailgate; try the dash switch to check.

Is it working under power, or just manually ? There is a fuse for the tailgate motor. Passenger side, fuse 7, 30A.

Hello John, Welcome to the Forum.

But will they fit ? I think you will find early Alphies use micro fuses. Also many of the fuses are located in very small inaccessible spaces

The flare is not legal. I would certainly not carry it.

I don't have a Hybrid so cannot suggest a course of action other than to search the Forum for Inverter issues, and the cooling fans associated with the battery you mention. My guess is that invertor cooling 'system' should be looked at first. A simple alternator check (if Hybrids have an alternator), starter battery connections. How far had she progressed in her journey ?

Hello Kevin, I feel sure that this has been covered in the Forum somewhere. Have you changed your tyre and/or wheel sizes during the last year ? I had the same alignment issue, and acquired a printout on the method. It is a simple process, but you will need a level area, a vertical wall, and a length measuring device for the distant from/to the wall. Most MOT garages should be able to do this for you in a few minutes. I'll look for my printout, but doubt I will find it; I have several hobbies and many filing 'systems'. You could search Chris.ac, as he is expert in electrics.

Hello Mat, Welcome to the Forum. Is your friend's vehicle a Hybrid, or a camper conversion ? If a Hybrid you need to change the vehicle in your profile. If a non-Hybrid, I would be expecting the starter battery needs a very full charge, or even replacing. Starter batteries take a real 'beating' in the current climate, especially if the vehicle is not driven regularly. I am unsure what you mean by auxiliary battery. Techstream is the Toyota tool, but I am unsure whether it runs on a Mac. Ancel JP700 ? gets a mention too. Search the forum for (much) more info.

Is your tailgate powered ?

Get your dealer / seller to sort this (mis-registration) issue. Could be a minefield.

Hello Mel, Welcome to the Forum.

A few will, most won't.

Hello Phil, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello David, Welcome to the Forum. Have you checked the Servicing Section where members recommend mechanics ?

Hello Chris, Welcome to the Forum

If you bought from a conversion business, take it back and get them to fix it. Or, at least, call the convertor. You will have Consumer Rights to support you. If you bought privately, unfortunately, you will need to resolve the problem yourself. Although I cannot help you, you have come to the right forum. I feel sure help will be at hand asa the holiday period is over.

Hello Molly, Welcome to the Forum. Is this a problem on a vehicle you have just bought, or a new problem on a vehicle you have had for some time? Is your starter battery in tip-top condition ?

Hello Dean, I'm sure Picasso will answer this asap.

Hello Billy, Welcome to the Forum.

I believe mine is plastic, the rest of the 'wood' trim certainly is.

Wishing all Club Members a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 2025. HAPPY ALPHARDING and CAMPARDING.

Thank you for this update.

Good approach. I have another vehicle on which the starting could be marginal; but the vehicle ran OK otherwise. Eventually, despite knowing the battery was (showing) fully charged I still had charging issues. I went to Kwik Fit for a (free) battery test; result was a low performing cell but only on cold cranking. I fitted new battery; result ? No issues.
