    sounds like its not keeping the 5v to store the backend on it. I'd check your connections on the back of the radio and see if all plugs are in properly.
  2. MonsterS
    You will need a new head unit. Its not possible to convert the existing factory fitted radio to english. Some brands like pumpkin, xtrons etc do it with kits. Have a surf on the forum as people have posted wiring conversion kits on here.

    Nice and Welcome.

    3L is better. Not struggling up hills the fuel ratio works out the same. But longer trips the 3L handles it much better. If you convert to LPG you'll be laughing so many people opt for this. I haven't as there is not a LPG pump station anywhere near me.
  5. MonsterS
    Yes, there is a topic to help you get that arranged. I've followed it and got the brake servo sorted within 2 weeks of my email.

    I would go for a 3L, there are some outstanding recalls on these (brake master cylinder, airbags). When you get one make sure or do 1. full service including timing belt, water pump. 2. change gearbox fluid 3. get the brakes bled 4. Underseal/wax the bottom of the vehicle. Other than that they are good vehicles.

    Halfords. Industry standard bulbs.

    The Question is can you get parts for these vehicles too? oh and welcome.

    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

    Good to know.

    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.

    Never used it. I used a simply chinese bluetooth adapter and torque pro for the 3L 2wd we have.
  13. MonsterS
    no that's just a link they gave for them. I personally would have a google about them first.

    Toyota GB is really good. You just need the right department. Send an email to ask them or ring the switchboard and ask.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Welcome to the forum.
  22. MonsterS
    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).
  23. MonsterS
    there are some on ALI express and Autodoc too.
  24. MonsterS
    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.
  25. MonsterS
    Speak to Ben Hau, he can get body kits. Or try auto doc app
