The hybrid's are good engines and last forever if properly looked after. Now the batteries are the ones which you need to look at. If you having a hybrid i would ask for the batteries to be tested and a certificate to be given. Normally 10 - 15 years for the batteries if looked after.

Fairly easy job to do. Take the drivers side wheel off, remove cowling, then its a case of removing the bolts. Part 1 of a video I would also do the water pump at the same time. just be careful as the bolts are very tempremental at times, Mine was siezed in the block.

Try Mark Richards, They deal with alphards day in and day out. Well worth asking them. Mine cost £388 for the year with 8 years NCD

Yes tha manua is a must. Really helps with the tweaks and changes of things in the van, no to mention where everything is.

Nice and good luck, Welcome along too.

You might need to take all the cowling off the seat. Slide the seat all the ways forward and there should be some runner bolts to undo. It's been so long I've forgotten how I did it last time I had one.

Actually you can, but just be done via the obd2 socket using a specific code reader/writer. I'll find out and lost it here.

Yup corner light

I would remove all bolts, but that's me.

Nice, welcome you'll have to post images.

Theres a company on the isle of wight. Forgot what they are called but co e recommended highly.

Thinkk thats batteries too hot.

that fuse is passenger footwell under the glove box.

Alot of the models do not allow you to switch off the airbag now. Normally it would be as you open the passengers door on the dash if there was. But Toyota do not like this function.

Use this as a knowledge base. Eighseaters blog

Normally it's a 13mm or 15mm socket, long extension

I would say buy a alphard book from Amazon. Well worth the 25 quid. Toyota alphard book

Lane control is a button in the bottom left of the drivers side next to the steering wheel? Press it. Then when you are going over 40mph it comes on. If not check fuse box on lower left passenger footwell.

Not much, its because the FM does not work for the UK. I would buy a new head unit or a FM band extender.

120mah is fine. Just make sure you get the right sizing for the cradle

Yes it would.

No it's non standard parts. such as lowered suspension, engine bored out, non factory type exhaust i.e. bigger outlet or flames coming from exhaust. Different sized wheels than when it came out of the factory. so 19" instead of 17"
