  1. 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.
  2. Have you checked both pedal sensor and the other sensor on the throttle aseembly?
  3. 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.
  4. Hi, there are no workshop manuals. What problem are you having with the door?
  5. I believe the kerb weight is 1960kg and the gross is 2390kg.
  6. 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.
  7. thank you for letting everyone know. Also might be worth checking the fuses under the bonnet for good measure.
  8. should just be a m8 bolt. sounds like it has been sheered or dethreaded. (proberly done up too tight before).
  9. Hi, Yes look up on the forum owners manual. If you purchase that it has all the toque settings, bulbs, reset procedures etc.
  10. 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.
  11. MARK Richards are a decent lot. Ask them
  12. 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.
  13. We bought a slightly higher amp age one. Exide 450a battery from Tania batteries. sorry for the late reply.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. All alphards seats move on runners. back and forth. I would go for a 3L at least if towing a caravan.
  17. they bolt down to the sub frame. you need to remove the carpet in order to access the bolts.
  18. ask paul as ace cars (i think thats it) they are a alphard breaker you can find them on ebay for most things.
  19. its a bad key. i would get a new one requested from Toyota or get one off market and have it re programmed by a auto electriction.
  20. I bought a bigger one. than what was in there. i'll get info and let you know tomorrow morning.
  21. Okay, so you can get vehicle clearance guides for the alphard. goto http://jp-carparts.com/ these guys will give you all the aftermarket options you want.
  22. should be in a sticket on drivers side door frame/post
  23. 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.
  24. that will be the vsync cable loose or not in correctly. try plugging the cable in again.
  25. There is panel clips which hold it on and some screws either end.
