Hi Rojie, thank you for your response. 
It’s difficult to tell if it’s green or yellow tbh. 
I also don’t think I have a front camera, only rear and it’s after market and fitted by the number plate. 
🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Do you have the symbol on your steering wheel ?

The camera, if you have one is in the middle of the grill, just under the bonnet opening.

A slight pointed, but rounded, projection. Only about a cubic inch.

Hi Chris, indeed a 10 series. The battery was changed and I suspect the ECU needs to relearn the AFS setting. The axel mounts are fine, along with the headlights. There were two ABS faults showing on the diagnostic machine, however these were reset and the flashing AFS continued. If anyone has had this on a 10 series and has a solution, do please let me know. 

 

Cheers 🍻 

Have the rear axle mounts/links been replaced lately ?

Haven't seen any updates on the meet up for this year, unfortunately we were unable to attend this one so just wondering how it went.

Hey 👋 hope your all well.

does anyone know what this warning light it for and why it would be on. 
it just appeared. No running issues or faults from what I can see.

 

The symbol is for your side looking (peep and creep) front camera.

It is switchable from the steering wheel and the head unit.

However, I don't recall ever seeing mine light up !

Is it green or yellow ?

I suggest you clean the front lenses.

Thanks, I think we're getting at least 8 miles / litre.  So that's about 70 miles.

 

No need to panic when the light comes on then 🙂

Nine litres is two gallons, which is more than many cars have low fuel  notification for.

Approximately how many miles can I do after the low petrol warning light comes on? Useful thing to know 🙂

 

(2003 2.4L petrol Alphard)

 

Thanks

When you have about 9 litres left.

Would like the two second row seats to swivel when we are parked up for a picnic.  They have integrated 3-point seat belts.  Can't find any UK converter, or UK or Euro turntable manufacturer, who will give me the time of day, the car isn't in their catalogue they say, so No Can Do.  I'm thinking of just buying a pair of turntables and drilling the required holes myself as Plan A.  Any suggestions, please, on the turntable I should adapt?  Just go for the common "VW T5/T6 Passengers Turntable/Single Seat Swivel Base", say, or perhaps the "General Purpose Heavy Duty Truck Seat Swivel"?  Both give 28~30 mm rise, no problem, there is lots of head room. 

 

Plan B is to remove the seats and fit a pair of after-market captain's seats to the existing track on the floor.  Similar problem (no one has anything in their catalogue to fit an AYH30), not so easy to solve because of the required compatibility to the 17 mm / 5/8" T-track on 381 mm / 15" centres.  But any suggestions on possibly compatible seats most welcome!

 

Many thanks!

Have you tried Northstar Conversations on the Isle of Wight ?

They are the only company I know that produce/use swivels that I know, and that's for Gen 1 vehicles, and they don't fit the middle row.

My guess is Gen 3 is a little too young for them; but worth a phone call.

You could fit a battery isolation switch; will kill any current; even the cooler if you have one !

Silly idea perhaps. or, have a larger battery fitted.

The bolts will be the same diameter on all Alphards, they screw in to the factory made holes.

 

The roof rack I have is second-hand and has no screws with it.

 

I guess I'll just got to Halfords and ask them to try a few bolts.

 

I'll post the size so that other owners don't have to go through this.

 

 

 

 

The size and thread should be easy to find.

Any decent auto shop should be able to give you one.

The only issue I would consider is the strain that the bolt needs to endure.

Depends on what you intend to fit to your roof rack.

Are you saying if it's got a cable it's not just a matter of fitting an arm

 

On your model ? Yes.

No help here?

 

I've the same issue.

Who supplied the roof bars ?

Ask them.

Otherwise you will be left guessing

Just to add a little:-

A typical Japanese male weight is 70kgs

A typical Japanese female weight is 62.5kgs.

I put Y rated tyres on my Jaguar XJR, and, try as I might, I just cannot get the Wild Cat to 186mph !

Seriously, I think this table is very helpful for members.

IMHO, weighbridges are OK, but I think vehicle manufacturers use a (four wheel) rolling road with strain gauges (at each corner) to confirm front to rear, and side to side,  weight distribution.

And, of course, towing changes all the readings.

Please consult other threads for towing !

Ensure your starter battery is fully charged.

Check the integrity of the battery terminals and leads.

The driver's side sliding door on my 06 Alphard MG has started moving very slowly. It won't move when the remote button is pressed, and only, grudgingly, with some effort from me, both when closing & opening. The motor seems fine, so I think it's a mechanical issue. Any suggestions?

Check the obstruction sensor for cleanliness.

Hi 

Can anybody help?

Where is the cabin filter on a 2003 3.0 Alphard and is it easy to change?

Behind the passenger lower glove box.

Glove box needs to be removed; easy, but there's a knack to it !

Filter very easy to change.

Hi all.

 

I have a late 2007 Alphard and it has a Flashing Red Warning Light - Car with a spanner icon. 

 

I am assuming that it is the service reminder light. I would like to know how to turn it off?

 

Does anyone know how to do it? I have read a couple of different methods but neither have worked so far.

 

Help!

What head unit do you have ?

Last year Toyota did a full service my Vellfire Hybrid but didn’t touch the hybrid systems, as they couldn’t get their computer to talk to it. Looking at last years’ bill I see they did an oil change but no mention of changing the transmission oil in the CVT gearbox, which I read was something you should do regularly in the hybrids.

 

Is it likely that this would have been included as part of the regular oil change, or did they skip it?

Ask them !

Apparently you Can have your vehicle tested by this place and if it passes your vehicle is place on the ulez list.

My understanding is that prior to the Gen 1 facelift, 2005, your machine will not be, officially, compliant; whether it is or not.

Hence im testing grounds on spares from ali express, I decided to some fresh struts and to my surprise 😮 they work twice as fast and you can get them in choice of colours. If any interested for about £35 for the pair yet i will keep the original ones just in case 

Just a small caution for Gen 1 owners.

I knowingly bought some struts for a Gen 2 from AliExpress, as Gen 1 were not available !

The Gen 2 didn't fit ! My fault, not AliExpress.

Amazingly, Toyota can, could, still supply the K type for my van, but at 200 pounds each !

My tail gate is electrically assisted, and I experience some juddering.

My dilemma ?

What is the cause, motor or struts ?
