Hello Dominic, Welcome to the Forum

While walking my dog yesterday I inspected the barrier more closely, and checked the height of the local beach car park entrance. In large lettering it was written 2 Meters, and in much smaller lettering 1.98m ! That would leave you only 1 cm ! Too close for me. Then, you notice all the damage to the barrier, and wonder how accurate the dimension remains. I recall the first time I took my Alphie through and peering very nervously through the moon roof.

Happy Anniversary !

NorthStar may be able to help. They are on the Isle.

Hello Ian, Quite a task. There are universal plates available. I believe they are designed for (sorry, heresy) VWs. I have also heard they don't fit an Alphie. One of the conversion companies can do an installation, they do not supply the plates. I believe you have to lose the centre console to allow them to swivel. I am pretty sure I am thinking of NorthStar on the IOW. Their upgrade is not inexpensive. Unless you go with NorthStar, please consider the safety aspects carefully before attempting any DIY solution.

Hello Chris, Welcome to the Forum. I don't have a pop top, but did consider one once. I decided against it on the basis of access to car parks. Where I live many car parks are height restricted to 2 metres. Many coastal car parks are the same. As an ex-Spanish resident, I don't recall there being any height restrictions in Spanish coastal areas. Food for thought

Be patient, he will.

Hello Peter, Welcome to the Forum. I doubt that light has anything to do the battery change.

Hi John, Without a photo, I think it must be the auxiallry 110v outlet switch.

Hello Wayne, You should be able to drag and drop photos into your thread. Just look for the paperclip in comment box. Bottom left. "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..."

Hi Sam, Consider yourself lucky that your local Toyota dealer will service the car, many won't. Service price seems reasonable, imho. Good gearbox oil is not cheap, cost should include an oil filter too. The alternator belt and water pump cost seems high. Doesn't include cam belt as you don't have one. My guess is you should not need chains, and it would be even more expensive Regas sounds high too. depends what is included. Gas (only) should be 50 pounds or less; maybe cabin pollen filter too ? Spark plugs are cheap, coils less so, but you only have four. Seems pricey. Much of the work could be done elsewhere, unless you want to maintain a full Toyota Service History

Of course it's OK. 500ma at 12v is 'only' 6watts. I believe a member recently pointed out that the head unit is live 24/7 to maintain memory, etc.

My friend is just that, a life-long friend. Without sounding too draconian; I agree with the notion that MOT stations should not be allowed to refuse to test (without an exceptional reason).

Hello Teddy, Welcome to the Forum. There are several seating alternatives with Alphards. Three front seats is not one of them.. You should look at an eight seater with middle row swivel seating. The rearmost seating is removal, making room for a rear conversion. Most side conversions loose 6 seats and replace them with an R and R bed (which does replace two seats). Enjoy your search

I take your point about profit and older vehicles; unfamiliarity, and fear of the unknown, but declining to perform an MOT ? The situation reminds me of a very good friend of mine who, some years ago, attended a Mercedes Dealership to buy a new Mercedes Benz They judged the book by its cover, which wasn't presented as well as it might have been that day. They treated him poorly and he left. The following day, he visited his local Rolls Royce dealership; and ordered the latest new model. As a cash customer, he was offered a courtesy car for the duration of the delivery lead-time. With all the customer specified 'options' the Rolls took some few weeks to be delivered (literally). His first trip was to the Mercedes Benz dealership where he discretely parked his latest model (RR) obstructing the main entrance. He was surprised how long it took Reception to request, over the Tannoy, "Would the owner of (registration, not marque) please come to Reception. I recently went with my life-long to another MB dealership to buy a new MB ! All was going well, the sales person thought, until my friend was reminded of his prior experience at a MB Dealership. So, due to their short-sightedness, and expectation of appearance, the MB supply chain lost the sale of two new vehicles and the ongoing servicing revenue over several years. One thing my friend had learned conducting his own business was that "No Revenue delivers No Profit". So. Rant over.

If so, please contact me, my arthritis is playing up again, and my mot is coming up soon.

I don't understand this 'cannot do mot' attitude. If they choose not to perform a service, because they don't have the experience, the parts or the tools I understand. Buy not being able to perform an mot ? My guess is that they don't want to do the mot in case it fails, and you would require them to do the work. I doubt the fumes, or noise, emitted by a Japanese vehicle are any different to those of a European vehicle. Perhaps Picasso can comment please. I would be surprised if any (MOT) garage cannot do the test. Will not, maybe, cannot, no.
