  1. The comparison sites for me were the cheapest, though their drop down menu on vehicle type called anything later than 2010 a vellfire. One insurer did say they would take it up with the software supplier others just said mehh! It might be better now but in the end went with National Farmers union -NFU a mutual and includes basic breakdown cover and no charge for 12 payments Need a bit of time to chat through policy as not totally on line, though you do get a UK centre.
  2. Caught 22 mice in a shed with the Pest-Stop Trip-Trap Mouse Trap. works best with chocolate! I let them go in a nearby field - must of found their way back! Now have two cats they just eat them! The ultrasonic deterants dont seem to work, had a mouse living under a fridge in an outhouse with the ultrasonic devic plugged in above.
  3. Hi, I had what i thought was a problem a little similar in that the front wasnt getting /staying warm on a slightly longer trip. i left the expansion tank top off while parked idelling for a while incase of airlock. i took what was easy to remove around lower centre consul to check blend actuator and that was working fine. I think the problem for me was just stuff in the back piled up around rear vents under seats that seemed to shut off the front heat Now its colder might check again
  4. super video about this engine -how it goes together on the tube
  5. Hi we had a new winscreen on our Auris and fitter didnt put some gel between sensor and screen, = meant didnt work properly. The second fitter came along put some in and voila working fine now, so maybe gel degrading but just a maybe!
  6. Hi, eBay have lots of sellers of bushes, Though unsure about the actual press tool needed to remove.
  7. Hi Roger, I found a really good notice from Chris.ac which illustrates the settings, though unsure how to go about getting some adjustment.
  8. I have swapped to NFU mutual, It was bit long winded as they call back and so you need some tme for them but offered free basic breakdown and free monthly payments and were nice enough to talk to. Direct line quote was better on a new on line quote and they did try harder when i went to cancel autorenew. When the comparison sites get the change to Alphard/vellfire for 2010 and later there should be much more competition.
  9. Hi, I had a free tracking check at Just tyres and they found that my drivers side rear wheel is tracking in maybe 4mm in relation to drivers front. Being a live axle with very little adjustment is there a solution? They said might be a worn shock or maybe possible to shim but? I recall someone asked same question a while back but cant find it in search. Any Suggestions? Thanks
  10. I have now tried Advance on line, got to end- choose car and didnt recognise my alphard! might be better to call but I'm getting a bit tired of filling in any forms!
  11. Yes up to 2010 Alphards show up after that only vellfire. Just have to wait for the data programmer to input more models, might be this year if we are lucky! Is Advance an insurance co?
  12. If you check out our recent posts you will find were trying to get insurance to change dropdowns to Alphard/ vellfire on comparison sites due to heafty increases in premiums to get a bit more choice. Best response i had so far is a reply from moneysupermarket who said the following "Hi Alan, I will pass on your feedback to the team regarding the vehicle not appearing on our website, I have no control of the vehicle lookup service as it is an external company used. I will however ensure that your points are passed on. Have a great day.
  13. I have found Direct Line very good in past, been with them many years - infact mostly been with them since the were started with RBS and it was free to pay monthly-never had a claim. If I start a new quote with direct line on line it gives me a new quote only 44% incresase over last year. (better than 57%) The comparison sites useing a vellfire come out roughly-from 15% more than last years cost so very tempting considering a vellfire is the same vehicle - problem being all the comparisons use the same dropdown list. So far only Direct line have Alphards listed after 2010. Aviva just fobbed me off saying not on list. I cant see a way of tempting the comparison sites of ammending to Vellfire/Alphard on listing. Oh, could px Alphard for a vellfire!
  14. Just had my renewal notice from Direct line for 2.4 2011 Alphard, its gone up 57% from last year ond i only did 1300 miles and no changes! Trying to swap to another but the comparison sites dont recognise Alphards past 2010 only vellfires. Moneysupermarket said contact your prefered choice and they can ammend which i tried for them to say we cant insure an Alphard but can a vellfire as its not in the dropdown! Would calling an Alphard a vellfire invalidate insurance? as it is the only option available.
  15. Hi, yep they slapped another 10% on last years price in line with inflation. I pay just under £29 a month, quite a bit considering i only do a couple of thousand miles a year in it.
  16. Hi, Be great to see a video or series of pictures on how this all goes together😀
  17. Hi I have also considered this but did recently read Morrisons were giving up selling LPG by end of year ( i cant find article at mo) so best make sure you can get supplier nearby.
  18. Hi, just checked their web page and shows in stock, give them an email or get your local fitter to contact them. instruction pdf also on site.
  19. Hi, Ive used toothpaste and "t cut" in the past, It does work but takes an age.
  20. Hi, these have been on ebay from time to time, I'm after the 1491 kit for gen 2, now they are now rare, Been refunded by several sites that had them listed but they dont take the listing down. Only proper seller i found was a Euro dealer. and finding that was too tricky to complete. ( there was an ebayer who was after £200 for the 1491= too ££ for me) I wonder if anyone has a close up picture of these items to find out whats involved to manufacture them. or find the equivalent part.
  21. Prices are being worked out, this was a pre production one off template to check fitment for full production . Should be available very soon
