IMHO, it wouldn't hurt to start doing your research asap. Better prepared (to discuss) than not.

Hello Dz, Welcome to the Forum

Hello William, I have sent you a personal message with a suggestion of someone who may be able to help, or point you in the right direction. I suggest you give them a call; they are not a million miles from you. Perhaps you could visit them with a handful of photographs.

Hello Terry, Welcome to the Forum. Ask the vendor for the Toyota Handbook. They will be in Japanese, of course, but can be translated quite easily. Have you checked the Technical section ?

Hello Richard, Welcome to the Forum. Unfortunately your thread does not comply with the minimum required information content in a sales advert. Please read the requirements in the Sales section policy and add the missing info. Failure to do so within a day and your ad will be removed

NC500 mileage will not be high as many roads are little better then lanes with passing places. It is all about scenery, not mpg. Plan your fuel stops carefully, and you will need a loo on board.

Hello Chris, Welcome to the Forum

Picasso provided a part number for a similar problem in the last few days. Part was about 200 pounds. Not sure if that included the motor ! Good idea to have a look.

Did you ask him if he could fix it, or are you a diy buff ?

You could try and contact Japanese MPV specialists in Uxbridge. Ask for Naeem. I believe they have an associated garage that works on their imports. They may even have experience of the problem without you even needing to take your vehicle to them.

Hello Larry, So sorry to hear of your recent woes. If you have any idea of the location of the pot hole that broke your spring, you could contact the local Council (as they are responsible) especially if the event occurred on an unlit road in the evening or at night. Probably not worth the trouble but ...

Did you buy privately? How far are you from Uxbridge ?

IMHO, you should be OK with a 'normal' starter battery, lead acid. I have found this to be more than adequate, but keep it fully charge and ensure your room mood lights are off . I vaguely remember mine being a calcium type lead acid. You don't have a start stop vehicle so I would have thought a efb unnecessary. have you got your windows working again yet ?

You need to explain the seat finish and colour to potential buyers, and whether you have a 7 or 8 seater ! I think most convertors use the medical type flooring, not plywood. Are you planning on using marine ply ?

Hello Glen, Welcome to the Forum. Does your phone output RCA level signals, or are you asking if you need an adaptor ?

Hello Leka, Welcome from afar to the Forum.

Hello Ed, Welcome to the Forum.

Hi again, I haven't done this myself, but I seem to remember my convertor having to remove, or partially remove, the seat rails to slide the seat carriers out. On your model the seat rails are accessible from inside the van, but, the carpet and sound deadening underfloor material will need to come out first. I believe the nuts are captive, so refitting the rails (if that's what you intend, should be straightforward.

Please update us Lee, when you do. Thanks

OK. Well your enquiry isn't even a day old yet. Try and be patient until other members offer you opinions and/or assistance. ps. Check your battery leads and earth leads for loose connections.

I didn't say it was a cheap solution ! Although it does help to create significant floor space . I don't think it is exploitative; there is a choice. They are a conversion company, so distance (for the seat) isn't a factor. I don't think you get a seat, they use yours ! They also happen to be, imho, one of the best companies you will find. Try Funky Ram, enquire whether they can supply a swivel unit. With any swivel modification make sure you understand the increase in passenger seat height; it can be a problem for tall passengers. And, last but not least, make sure you inform your Insurance company of the modification.

This will happen if you disconnect the battery. May effect your moon roof too. Or you have inadvertently switched the door disable on the driver's door. Ensure your battery is fully charged. Your windows can be reset by winding each down, wait 5 secs, and wind up again. This needs to be done from each door switch; not from the driver's door. I don't have any photos. Try searching for soft door closure. I don't even know where the soft door closure motor is ! Sorry. I'll check my van for the sensors.

Beware universal units. they may not fit; many are made for VWs. NorthStar )IOW) are the only company I know that supply and fit these in units. Note supply and fit. They do not, or did not, supply only. At the time of my enquiry they only provided units suitable for Gen 1 vehicles.
