The club is undergoing a big upgrade at the moment, there may be a few things not quite right for a day or two.

  1. I assume in Switzerland older vehicles need an annual test, at least for emissions. If you already have the vehicle you could try to purchase some beam correctors and have the test station try and achieve the corrected beam. Also they could try the manual adjustments to assess whether they could achieve correct alignment. To do this you really need the mirror set-up they have in garages. Trying to do it yourself with a white wall is not that easy. Does your model have an AFS button in the dash ?
  2. Hello Ben, The clicking indicates, to me, that your battery needs charging. What happens with all the dash lights when trying to start. It is essential on these vehicles to maintain a full charge; vital in winter I would disconnect the inverter, and the leisure battery, and try again after a full charge. I would remove the leisure battery for charging, just to isolate the two batteries I doubt your split charger is failing. I have a smart charger, a CTEK, which will charge the battery, indicate the level of charge, and test the alternator. Check your mood lighting is off in the dark, not during the day. IF you do buy another battery, keep the old one (unless it is totally shot) in your garage on charge; it will give you a back-up. Measure the old battery, off load, and ensure the voltage is around 12v; anything around 10,5 and it is shot. The battery should be 12.6 or so.
  3. Sorry, but we don't provide advice on Alpha Romeos !
  4. Hello Tony, Welcome to the Forum. Please change your vehicle in your profile to the correct model. Check your battery is fully charged and check the condition of the battery leads at both ends. What happens with your dash lighting and warning lights ? Doi you have an aftermarket alarm, as I thought these models don't have OEM alarms, immobiliser yes, alarm no. I have a top of the range but no alarm. Have you checked the main battery fuse ?
  5. Hello James, Welcome to the Forum.
  6. Yes JPNZ worth the investment. On my earlier model there is a switch to stop mirrors folding . Are you sure you don't have one too ?
  7. I was with Aviva until mine had a had a conversion. I am with them on other vehicles. I insure a Ford and a Jaguar XJR little more than your quote. Worth a call but unlikely to insure a camper.
  8. Hello Dave, Welcome to the Forum. I expect Picasso, or others, will provide an answer for you.
  9. Hello Paul, Welcome to the Forum. Check the recommended garages section
  10. Hello Billy, Welcome to the Forum
  11. What Lee says is true for low value items. I import from Germany using Fedex and can assure you that Fedex is extremely efficient at collecting duties and VAT, when appropriate. Just keep your purchase value as low as you can. The duty and VAT thresholds are explained on the HMRC website.
  12. Hello Daveo, Welcome to the Forum.
  13. There is a bulb list on here somewhere; not sure whether it includes all courtey lighting though. Try the service section. Or search through The Alphard Club or Monster S, as I think one of them added it ages ago. Good Luck.
  14. Gen 1 facelift comes with them (as an option) as mine is fitted with them.
  15. I have a similar problem, mine operate less than perfectly. I just use them manually. When operated electrically they open and close very quickly, not slowly and smoothly as you would hope.
  16. Hello Steve, Welcome to the Forum. Water jacket ? The engine block, or part of the hybrid system ?
  17. Hello Gary, Welcome to the Forum from afar.
  18. Hello Arran, Welcome to the Forum.
  19. Looks like a remote starter. I believe it is illegal to start a vehicle remotely in the UK if vehicle is on a public road.
  20. It is B grade, but so what. I agree with Lee, worth a try.
