Hi Ian, Have you tried your local official Toyota dealer, or Toyota Direct ?

Hi Gill, Did you receive my personal messages ?

I have sent you a PM.

Thanks for the reminder. As a BT customer we have access to the BT WiFi Hotspots, although, actually, have never used any of them. Something else for me to work on. Should be easy . I bought a second PC just for the van. I use the older Dell XPS, very robust. I have been thinking of a small sound bar, but storage on the move is a real issue as my dog takes up so much room.

Hello Gilly, Welcome to the Forum. I can recommend a rear conversion specialist who does exemplary work, at reasonable cost. BUT They are near Exeter ! If you need a 'must have' reason to use him I could send you (privately) a photo of my fully veneered Maple rear kitchen. And, btw, some members believe you cannot cook 'indoors' with a rear kitchen. You can (but not a fried breakfast). All you need is a EHU and a induction hob.

Hi Nigel, We use a 17" PC with DVD, and an attached HDD. The PC uses a cigarette power adapter running from our leisure battery. I did look at Cello, but went with the HD PC that I already had. Plus, where do you store a delicate TV when travelling? I was going to fit a TV gizmo to the PC, but, so far, haven't needed to. My wife watches films mainly. News and directions we get from our phone. The PC sits nicely on our rear kitchen and our rear facing Captains seats provide armchair luxury. Sound is by Bose noise cancelling wireless headphones (benefit is I can read !). As the van is, effectively, a Faraday cage, you will need a very good aerial. Ideal for us. No installation hassle, easy portable storage with folding laptop. HD films, DVDs, etc'; and no aerial issues. Food for thought, maybe.

Karen if you still need this service, the guy I can recommend will come to your house and program the keys and demo them.

You will have a separate fob for it. Just three buttons. Lock, unlock and tailgate. The reason I ask is it can, when programmed through the head unit, perform all kinds of tricks with the locking system. I was just wondering whether it has some bug or other malfunction; perhaps needing a new fob battery. Doors can be programmed to lock after you drive off, etc. Is your rear hatch electrically assisted? On another line of thinking, I believe the rear hatch has obstruction detectors. perhaps there is a malfunction there. I am just guessing, as no-one else (in my recollection) has reported such a situation !

You don't need to change the head unit, if that's what you're considering, to use a Sat Nav. There are phone apps or discrete Sat Nav units

Hello Nigel, According to the JPNZ Owners Manual (highly recommended, available on ebay). 8.6 litres, Toyota Auto Fluid type T-IV

Hello Jarek, Welcome to the Forum.

Hello Dan, Do you have the Smart Lock System ?

Darth Vader's transport !

I was under the impression the 4D67 chip was introduced on the Gen 1 facelift, as was not 'fitted' to the early Gen 1 machines. I expect Chris.ac can confirm, or refute, this.

I visit mine personally. Drink their excellent Hot Chocolate, and normally get excellent service. The only downside is that, as an official Toyota dealer, they are not cheap ! I will continue to recommend Snows, but not the Honiton branch (although, I suppose, your form may not have 'gone' to Honiton).

I have seen them on other Toyota vehicles, mainly 4 x 4 s.

Hello Tom, Do you encounter the same problem if the engine is running ? If so, charge your battery fully. Is it both doors ? I am wondering if you may have a problem with the obstruction sensors

Hi Derek, Some of the better dealers will renew the rear bushes before sale. I believe this involves lowering the rear axle. More learned members will comment, I hope; but I think the rear brakes need bleeding afterwards. Sorry to be so cynical, checking brake pads is not the same as replacing them if needed ! If this situation has just occurred it seems strange to happen so soon after an MOT pass.

I'll check mine, but I don't think it has a silicone base. Mine is not secured but does stay put.

It may be worth checking the DVLA Guidance to MOT Testers; just to check that these features are part of the MOT. Does your vehicle have the usual indicators in the head light and tail light clusters ? Do they all work ? It may be worth asking another testing station for their opinion.

Rubbish. And they are not mandatory, as most Alphies do not have them.

Hi Alasdair, It isn't a cycle mirror. You will never see a cyclist in it unless you have run over them ! There is another recent thread about this. It is a kerb and front bumper mirror.

High Tops on Alphies are very rare. My guess is there is more than one type, and, therefore, more than one height !

They are not particularly easy to use. Front cameras are more useful, if you have one.

If you are really struggling contact Picasso, he will almost certainly get you the correct part numbers. He will need your VIN.
