Touch up paint availability
The paint code is on the VIN. B Pillar, passenger side. Suggest you buy from Toyota; not have it made up.

Hello Lester, Welcome to the Forum.

Touch up paint availability
I was under the impression that the 042 colour is a standard Toyota colour. Check with a main dealer. As aerosols are a pressurised product, shipping through normal postal channels can be problematic.

Sunshades for 2008 Alphard
The model type should be on the passenger side B pillar. It forms part of the VIN number. I'll check my purchasing records for the blackout blind. I have it quite a while. Please note. My Alphard is older than yours, so check the suitability for your model.

Sunshades for 2008 Alphard
Hello Mike, Welcome to the Forum. 2). Should be a Gen 2. Post a photo for confirmation, or provide the model number. 3). I have a Black Out blind which excels for that purpose. It covers the screen, and both front doors. It is robust. It is very easy to fit and remove. It does not have any mesh openings

What a shame, but understandable. However, there is an ever increasing thread on this forum listing where members can get their vehicles serviced. As Larry points out, locating servicing may not be straightforward, but members should ask their local Toyota Official dealer. Most will not, as Larry highlights, work on your vehicle, but some will, so it's worth a phone call. Accordingly, it is advisable, before purchase, to ensure you have a source for servicing. Buyers should also establish whether the selling dealer has on site servicing facilities. Many do not. That may be an important point to consider before the purchase decision is made.

Servicing
Hell Brendan, Welcome to the Forum. There is a thread on this forum where members list garages that will work on Alphards/Vellfires. Go to the Forums section and take a look at Servicing.

Annual Club Meet - July 2nd 2023 - British Motor Museum
Hello Abigayle, Welcome to the Forum, Where in Devon are you located ? Is your machine a 2010, or a 2008 or earlier ? Looks like 2010, in which case I could change your vehicle type in your profile

Scratch repair
Ian. 042 is the official colour ? (Pearl White). It is declared on your VIN plate number, which is on the passenger side B pillar. It is not exclusive to your Alphie. Should be available from any official Toyota dealer (and other sources but perhaps ebay is best avoided).

Road tax and fuel economy
Hello Lev, Welcome to the Forum. As far as I am aware, the first year is not different. There is a long thread on this Forum regarding fuel consumption. Try searching E5 E10.

Alphard head unit replacement
Ben's mobile is on the Forum somewhere. Search for Ben Hau or Radio Replacement He is difficult to contact. Looks like you may have an Xtrons unit fitted.

Alphard head unit replacement
Hi Phil, Welcome to the Forum. Regarding the tracking; your wheel tyre combination does not look standard; just to complicate things even more. Ben Hau in Birmingham is the go to guy for Android upgrades.

Amina, The Alphard and Vellfire are the same vehicle. But there are detail differences. What parts are you looking for ? General service part numbers are available in the service section. Do you know your model number ? If you can send a Private Message to Picasso, and list the parts you need, and your registration, he will probably be able to give you the part numbers. To enable us all to help you, you need to be much more specific in specifying your needs. You could try Toyota/Alphard/epc.com; but you will need to be proficient at reading vehicle drawings. Did you contact Gibbs Automotive again yet; as I suggested ? However, don't expect them to have all the parts in stock !
