Bike carrier
Some people use Thule roof bars, or a tow bar rack. I'd recommend using a tow bar rack if you've got one.

CO2 Emissions

Toyota Alphard Recall in the UK - Takata Airbag Recall
Tom, this is the same for everyone. we've been on the waiting list for two years. Might be worth checking your brake servo. as on the 2002 models there is a recall for them and they have them in stock. we had ours done 6 months ago.

wheres the battery ?
its between the front seats in the middle column. have a look there.

No more beige velour!
depends on your budget. there will be some out there but the leather is for executive models only generally unless it's been added as a optional extra. (correct me if im wrong someone). When we was looking two years ago there were two models for our v6 one was leather the other was normal. we choose normal as the leather one would of cost an extra 3 grand.

Has anyone used Jap auto agent??
Honestly. It's normal. Depending on the Alphy you want depends on how much work is involved. We had one which didn't need any work besides a full service (which we did ourselves) Algys normally provide full paper work including any remedial works that are needed. Ask them for copies of the auction status of the vehicles i'm sure they will be happy to help.

Bristol Alphard.
ah that's where it becomes sticky. I use elm327 with Torque on android then input a advanced variable for the 3L but don't know the advanced variable for the hybrid i'm afriad. I setup a bristol garage with a very expensive bit of kit which does it all see if i can find the variable and get back to you.

Third brake light bulb replacement
okay so the bulb can be removed two ways. first is from inside the boot. Remove the boot liner at the top and try to unplug and remove. (i tried that first and ended up breaking the bulb. as it's a tight fit. second is to go on top the boot outside and pop the cover off undo the two nuts under it then on the outside top put a smudger or flat screwdriver in and feel for the locking plastic in place and push the end of the screwdriver (handle) up so the other end pushes down then the unit will come free but might need a little push from where the nuts, bolts are.

Bristol Alphard.
I've just gone down and setup a code reader tool for them which reads all alphard codes, its a really impressive tool. It can rewrite ecu's, re program keys, and does alot with terms of alphards compared to the other tools on the market.

Android car radio upgrade?
