Headlights conversion from RHD to LHD for use in the EU
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 ?

Correct alternator for 2.4 engine, but might just be battery
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.

Engine won't turn over
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 ?

Near side passenger door moulding.
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.

Door handle button not working
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.

Door handle button not working
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.

It is B grade, but so what. I agree with Lee, worth a try.
