Flat battery problems
We bought a higher rated Tanya battery with the same terminal layout and that stopped our dead battery issues. I have to modify the tray slightly on one side but fits perfectly now.

Head Gasket / Engine issues
It's the exact same engine as the lexus rx300 or rs300 if you have the 3l version. Would be worth googling that engine. Or as John said drill the bolts out. I did this on our previous estima and took me half a day to drill them all out and retap them. Cheaper than a new engine.

Alphard Hybrid Servicing
I would get a code reader on it and see when testing. that would tell you the codes and location of the failure. sounds like steering wheel rack.

Newly bought alphard not starting
thank you for letting everyone know. Also might be worth checking the fuses under the bonnet for good measure.

Engine cover hold down bolt

Replacing rear arm bushes 2007 AN10 2.4
Get the app on your phone/tablet auto doc. This will give you genuine parts and the better qaulity parts needed. Yes the axle has to come off but they can actually use jacks to support it and a mobile press to push the new ones in. It is a tough job but does not take that long if done correctly.

Insurance
MARK Richards are a decent lot. Ask them

2003 2.4 Auto
Try Mark Richards insurance. Simple answer if you remove the original radio you loose features such as Lane control, front cameras etc. New sat nav can be put in on a android radio but you'll have to install a new aerial and new camera.

Importing a Alphard
It's all fairly simple. Import using an agent. There is one in Hallen, Avonmouth, Bristol. You will need the speedo converted, a rear fog light and that's about it besides registering it with the dvla. All the forms are easy ish to complete. It's the tax rating you might have to fight and getting it EU approved for emissions to get a lower tax bracket.

Correct Tyre Pressures
So, if they are not on the drivers door post they may be in the filler cap. for the 255 / 55 / r17 is 2.3 but as for the 215 / 60 / r17 seems a bit odd for a alphy. I'd find that sticker if you can.

Alphard Royal Lounge
All alphards seats move on runners. back and forth. I would go for a 3L at least if towing a caravan.

Removing sliders
they bolt down to the sub frame. you need to remove the carpet in order to access the bolts.

hybrids generally only work on low speeds from what i remember. it's worth contacting a hybrid specialist and getting them to check the batteries over.
