Hello Ted, Welcome to the Forum.

I think you were told wrong. The 2.4 is chain, the 3.0 is belt, the 3.5 is chain. Timing chains do not, usually, need renewing. I don't know whether your engine has tensioners, most engines do. Tensioners can need renewing from time to time. If I'm wrong, I am sure other 3.5L owners will point that out pdq !

Hello Enam, Welcome to the Forum. Timing belt will not need changing. Your engine is fitted with a chain system ! Unfortunately, I don't know what the recommended mileage is for new chains (mine has belt) system; but others will.

Well done. Thanks for letting us all know.

Hello Paul, Welcome to the Forum. There's lots of info within these pages. So you'll have plenty of reading to do.

Sorry, I don't have the faintest idea where to start. I seem to recall a previous response indicating the system used several sensors, all interlinked through an ECU.

Unfortunately, the flashing indicates a fault. The head lights should still work fine, but won't turn as you steer and change speed !

What head unit do you have ?

Do you mean the Head Unit ; Japanese Sat Nav will not work in UK. So Radio, CD, DVD, MD are all working? Reversing sensors working Ok ?

Hi Gerry, Most competent garages can check air conditioning systems nowadays. As your Alphie is an import it may have different fittings; but I doubt it. Companies such as Kwik Fit can perform a pressure/ leak test. They normally do this for free ! Worth calling your local branch ?

Hello Paresh, Welcome to the Forum. You could try Odyssey Carpets on ebay. I know they do dark carpet mats.

There is a thread devoted to Alphie insurance. Although the info becomes out of date quite quickly; it is still a good starting point

Hi Chris, There is a thread especially for this on the Forum.

Hello Sean, Welcome to the Forum.

Please share which make and model you ordered

Picasso can probably help, if Chris can't

The Toyota camera is 6V. Some people fit a 12V camera up front. I think Chris.ac is probably an expert on this topic.

Hello Carolyn, Welcome to the Forum. Awnings is one of the most popular topics on the Forum. Lots and lots of reading for you to do !

I hope it goes well for you. It does for many. But I have read reports of problems.

Hello Allan, Welcome to the Forum. There was someone else who had a similar problem, albeit not caused by a pot hole ! I'll try and find it. You should be able to receive Radio 2 on your HD without the need for additional aerials. Some members have been brave enough to update their head-unit; but not me. Not a job for the faint-hearted, imho. You need to be cautious you don't lose the cameras, or some of the steering wheel buttons

You are not wrong.

Hello Stuart, Welcome to the Forum.

I don't think so. But giving advice to anyone remotely is not easy or without it's risks !

No mistake. The sun roofs need this treatment too sometimes, after a battery refit.

Hi Laraine, Welcome to the Forum. Yes you can have a simple rear conversion. Are you thinking of retaining the rear seats ? There are companies that can supply units that are flat packed. There is one in Barnstaple. I am sure there are others around the country. My caution to you would be to consider the ease (or otherwise) of getting passed the middle row seats, even in their forward position. The seat back only tilts forward a little. If you don't remove the rear seats, the problem goes as you won't be able to get to the conversion from inside (unless you have the rear seats folded all the time!). The footrests tuck away nicely, but I removed mine. I have just advised another member that I know of a company that can make a slatted frame bed that fits over the seating. In use as a bed you place an air mattress, or whatever, upon it. The frame can be dis-assembled and stored reasonably easily.
