Thanks so much for doing all that work and sharing it with us all.

I changed out my inverter pump a few months ago. You are correct that it is just in front of the passenger front wheel. I am not normally one to try and do these types of jobs on my own, but I thought I'd give this one a go. So, I'm sure if I can do it, you probably can too. You'll just want to set a few hours aside to do the job. It actually sounds harder than it is. You will need to take off the front grill and the wraparound bumper to access it. Not as difficult as it may sound. Then you will be able to look up through the front passenger wheelwell and see the pump. I think one or two of the bolts were a bit awkward to get to, but that's about all. You should be able to look at it and see how it all connects up. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures. Here is a link to a diagram that shown how everything fits together. The pump is in the bottom righthand corner of the diagram: http://jp-carparts.com/toyota/partlist.php?maker=toyota&type=715110&cartype=2&fig=8432 Having said all that, it shouldn't be a difficult job for any mechanic, so you may just want to go that route. They could easily put it up on a lift and do it in less than an hour I would think.

It's actually super cheap and super easy. I bought a replacement key fob on ebay a couple of years ago for my 2003 Alphard. All you have to do is open up your current key fob and take the electronic part out (it's totally self contained, and literally pops right out) and pop it in the new one. Then take it in to a key cutter and get it cut before your other one breaks. Some places like Timpsons will only use their own blanks, so you'll have to fine someione who will cut the key blade you get from ebay. But that's it. It worked fine for me!

I have had this same question for a long time now. I have a 2003 ATH10W Hybrid Alphard 4WD. If anyone knows how to find this out, I would greatly appreciate it as well.....

Yes! Please do. It would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks

Hi, I live in Scotland as well, and am looking for a mechanic in Scotland who works on Alphards. Rojie, you said to contact Ldrego..... How do I do that? I am new to this form too!
