Paul McKeown, the boss, says he has a good relationship with his local Toyota dealer, and he got one within a week. He reckons he buys so much from them it is in their interest to be helpful.

Call them as well.

Gave me same story, but believe me, its just stories...cable part only costs £93 and that's bought from UAE with shipping you looking @£100 approx.

All these NewAcre stories "im good pals with Toyota".... 🤔 please

This lot then charging 300£ part&fitting and i dont even kno if VAT is included !...this means they charging £200 for an hour labour. 

🙄Might as well call NASA and ask if £200 will cover for hour cost of one of their engineers.👀

Here utube video showing bloke changing Type on search

[139]Toyota alphard Sliding Door repair and video will come up with Jap bloke showing how to do.

For parts 1st check against you chassis its the correct one. Ive seen this link here on forum, u can check correct part no. using it.

Select Body&Interior - then select Slide roller & rail and you will see diagram, you want to then select Control Slide Dr and choose left or right

most post I see in this forum, for any fix or solution seem to reply, go to such n'such garage as they specialist in camper van and all types of Alphards. 😳 when you call this places if the part cost 90£ first they add another£100 then say its an extra £200 for labour.

To answer your question, yes many people here know how to fix, but they will not say, because they are the same campervans specialist posing as normal users and advertising  their business 💸 its all about money, not help !

ATH10W part no. (right side) for Alphard you need is 69631-58010 CONTROL SLIDE DR AT they £93 with shipping £130approx.

There is plenty videos showing on utube how to change Dnt kno bout newacres, but chk their website and spoke to them on phone and been quoted £300, if what this other bloke here says they take 30min to an 1hr to change the  this means they charging an excess of £200 😳

Now im no mechanic but for an hour labour £200 charge just seems excessive.
