Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, much apreciated.

Hi 

Can anybody help?

Where is the cabin filter on a 2003 3.0 alphard and is it easy to change?

Hi 

I read this,https://andrewsjapanesecars.com/japanese-import-towing-weights/ , and ended up more confused than when I started, although it seems to indicate that if theres no towing info on the vin plate, you could be on dodgy ground. My importer/supplier initialy mentioned the issue.

Further down on that page is this.

'We bought our Alphard with no intention of towing but getting back into sailing l wanted to tow my dinghy. l contacted the dvsa and was specifically told l could not tow without any weights on the VIN. They gave me a list of companies approved to issue a new VIN. l contacted a company called SVTech who issued me with a new VIN with a gvm of 1880 kg and gtw 3130 kg. This was done in conjunction with data from Toyota. So not a huge towing capacity but legal. My ins co would not insure without this. DVSA confirmed once my new plate was in place l was good to go. Total cost £144 . Took a few months but l’m happy l’m fully insured and legal.'

Thanks for this.

 

I'll try and look into it.

Id be very interested in anything you come up with either way, for the moment Im sticking with the cycle carrier, and you'd probably get away with a small trailer but say a caravan might be a different kettle of fish altogether and of course theres always the insurance aspect, they do love a get out of jail card😂

Apparently you Can have your vehicle tested by this place and if it passes your vehicle is place on the ulez list.

Hi I have a tow bar fitted to my 2003 alphard for a cycle rack but be careful. I was told that the Alphard is not rated ( weight wise) for towing so strictly speaking its illegal.

If I have been misinformed then I apologise in advance.

Hi

Just for your info, if your Alphard has the factory fitted amplifier that is fitted under the front passenger seat then it is a very different lead that is required to fit an aftermarket radio, I had a Fujitsu ten 86120-58080 Japanese radio and changed it to a UK spec Kenwood double din radio that required the fascia adaption kit but the lead described in the previous post did not fit the Toyota harness in the dash. I eventually found a lead that did the job from INCARTEC of Exeter and the lead code was 20-259 just trying to sort out the sound at the moment but it might just be the Amp turn on wire, if I cannot figure it out then I will probably just bypass the amp and wire the speakers directly to the radio, but I will get there eventually.

Hiya I must be just round the corner from you, small world, anyway the question is did you fit a head unit yourself? if you did was it easy? and what head unit did you fit?

Thanks Andy

Thank you for the info, much appreciated

My door mirrors fold out automatically but I have to fold them in manually, is there a switch to change this, is it faulty or is this just how they are?
