  1. This is the one i've got. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MRCARTOOL-ELM327-ODB2-V1-5-Bluetooth-Auto-Code-Reader-Diagnostic-Scanner-Tool/173859916862?hash=item287adbcc3e:g:R70AAOSwlf5ca7sI
  2. I found that when we went to IOW that Sainsburys were two pence cheaper than the mainland. Asda may be more but we didn't want the hassle of trying to get through all that traffic.
  3. Never used it. I used a simply chinese bluetooth adapter and torque pro for the 3L 2wd we have.
  4. no that's just a link they gave for them. I personally would have a google about them first.
  5. Toyota owners club pointed me to this. https://www.certificateofconformity.co.uk/coc/certificate-conformity-toyota
  6. tried this one? https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/757183/cars-mutual-recognition.pdf
  7. Toyota GB is really good. You just need the right department. Send an email to ask them or ring the switchboard and ask.
  8. thats about right because it's an import the only way is to get an official report from a MOT station doing the co2 output and submit it to DVLA then get them to change the CO2 category. But that being said i've not had much luck with it because it's an import. different rules etc.
  9. A few users have had issues with people complaining about their hitch. However if you've got a smart engineer they can do it. I'm sure someone will be along to share pictures.
  10. You'll have to wait till it comes in to stock. I've got one but need it. Plus it would take me around 2 weeks to scan in and send as there are so many pages.
  11. have you look at your battery connections? Sometimes fouling or loose connectors will do this or the negative terminal from the battery to the van metal if its not earthed correctly will do this too.
  12. Welcome to the forum.
  13. There has been some complaints recently about their work but overall they have high marks. I would check your work and take pictures before and after conversion. (that goes for all converters).
  14. there are some on ALI express and Autodoc too.
  15. 3L is a great vehicle. you can convert to LPG. Theres power and it's super comfy. LPG Conversion will depend if you can get LPG on your trip down to spain. alot of people are converting their alphards to campers and not a complaint about it. If you have any precise questions let us know.
  16. Speak to Ben Hau, he can get body kits. Or try auto doc app
  17. try this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Thule-roof-bars-Toyota-Alphard-2002-to-2008-754-1267/333127165442?hash=item4d8fed2602%3Ag%3ApmMAAOSwY8NclNO7&fbclid=IwAR20gTdryTcUOQ3oJNkZSw1io2PGsRAh0C1LZuZHRQTt8eUeK1TfmddvdOw
  18. i think they are thules 1250. or something similar.
  19. Ben hau, search on the forum for him.
  20. Use Google translate on your phone
  21. No. Just that. It takes 4 litres as half is in the sump and the other is in the transmission
  22. - Do dealers have to provide auction/export certificates? If it is missing, is it a problem? maybe, sometimes they forge the documents. (rare occasion) However it will give a detail list of the vehicle state. - How much did you pay for your road tax? Do you get any subsidy for hybrid versions at all? most vehicles are the same tax bracket I pay £240 ish a year for a 3L 2003 model. - Insurance: How much did it cost you on average? for me its £400 a year but thats because i've got 5 years no claims only. - I live in Islington Council in London. Their parking permit goes by Co2 emission. Does anyone have a model report on 2007 Alphards 2.4L engine for me to refer to for permit applications? Or to advice them on this? (https://www.islington.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/parking-permit-costs-table) sorry can't help on that one. - Would you recommend changing the speedometer and/or odometer? there are simple kits to change from KPH to MPH but most importers can do this for you. - I am considering converting this Alphard to a camper at some point - any particular garage you recommend for this? there are a few. i'll leave that for someone else who's had it done. - How often should you service it and can you just bring it to any garage? when you get it have a full service done including underseal. - Parts - how easy are they to find should things go wrong and can you use other Toyota equivalents? You can get Toyota direct to send them or use an app called autodoc on android or ios store. you put in your vehicle model and it will show all the parts.
  23. You can't. If you change the head unit you will lose lane control and front camera and surround sound.
  24. There are bolts, really easy to remove. But you need to remove panels and carpet to remove rails etc.
