Hi Nigel, Good luck with the Auto Covers. Please update us all when you can. I do not have a whole cover, just a screen cover (from Fuel Lagoon) which I would wholeheartedly recommend; but I do not use it in winter. I have a full cover for another vehicle which, if attached very carefully, does not rub the paintwork or get blown off in a gale. I actaully use it in the summer to prevent sun damage to paintwork and headlights. I am not, yet, aware of a custom fit weather proof cover for the Alphards, Gen 1 or Gen 2, or Vellfires.

Hello Shane, Welcome to the Forum. Just to let you know, the 2.4 comes with a 4 speed auto. There is a Megathread on this forum where members have disclosed their consumption figures. Search for MegaThread in the search box on your home page.

If members review this company on Trust Pilot, they will, almost certainly, agree with you.

Hello Jacek, Welcome to the Forum. If your Alphie isn't undersealed you should be making that a priority.

Happy Alpharding. Austria, lovely country.

Hi Alan, There is a 'MEGA THREAD' on this Forum regarding members' experience with fuel consumption. Search for Megathread or review Teekay posts

Links to ebay should be OK, provided you are not the selling company.

Hello David, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Sheldon, Not come across this issue before ! Sounds like a set up problem. Which country did your Alphie originate in ?

Have you tried ebay? I tried 12v, 16w, W2.1 and got several choices. Thanks for the photo, but it is difficult to see the clear bulb behind the clear plastic packaging. Good Luck.

Hello Lucy, Surely all you need is a spare brake light bulb, in red ? Try Halfords.

Toyota Super Long-Life ; viscosity 30 percent. protection to minus 12 degree (should be enough. 8 litres. Should be available from any Toyota dealer. I am sure other members will suggest cheaper alternatives.

Hello Stewart, Welcome to the Forum. You are correct; the Forum does contain a wealth of knowledge and experience. Lots of reading for you to do. Several 'experts' on hand to help you (and others) should you need it.

I believe there is, and it's on this Forum. I suggest you search for Cruise Control, or similar. The search box is top right on your home page.

Hi Lucy, Can't your MOT garage get you the correct bulb and fit it for you ?

Not cheap ! Quite an understatement; and mortgage rates are increasing !

Thanks for letting us all know

Hi Alan, Mains voltage here varies from 220 to 240. I'm not an electrician, but domestic supply is well over 10 Amps; closer to 30 is my guess Some campsites offer mains hook ups; known as EHU. Different sites have differing maximum current. These EHU points are common in converted vans. I have an EHU, with 5 off 240v outlets throughout the Van. And a similar number of 12v outlets from a leisure battery. I am not sure what House Battery is; but I assume a Leisure battery. As 240v can be lethal it is essential that anyone wiring your van must be competent (and well insured in case of mishap). Comparatively speaking, a 12V leisure set up is straight forward but does need expertise as a split charging relay needs to be fitted. ANY wiring passing through metal panels must be suitably protected and insulated. I know Melbourne is a tiny place; but you must have some expertise nearby. Check out any American RV outfits. I don't use an inverter; but know they can work. A small quiet generator may be worth considering too. 10 Amps is a lot of current; suggest you check what Oz campsites provide. Good Luck

Jump Leads in mine, as the Alphies have a habit of not starting unless the battery is in tip top charge.

Hi sheldon, Problems with power doors are not uncommon on this Forum. Please search sliding door. The search box is top right on your home page.

It will work. If you have a moon roof you may need to do the same with that.

Hello Paula, Welcome to the Forum. I have charged my battery several times, and had to reset the windows. Never had the beeping you mention though. Hopefully another member can suggest a fix.

Hello Alan, Welcome to the Forum.

Hi Bill, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Sheldon, Welcome to the Forum. Which automatic door ? Make sure the windows are fully closed and the fuel flap is not slightly open.
