  1. Try speaking to http://www.japcover.co.uk/home They sorted us out. and Welcome.
  2. i've heard that it's normally for side conversions. I would suggest contacting Ben Hau (Alphard Ben) he may be able to sort that out with a suspension upgrade and TRC rewrite.
  3. ouch! yeah its fairly expensive here in Bristol too. Though on the Isle of wight i heard its really cheap.
  4. At the moment for Bristol it's Asda Longwell Green 114.7p
  5. Well as the title suggests what have you been upto today? I've spent the last hour trying to find a brake fluid leak and mostly installing new servers in our datacenter for customers to use
  6. transformers here we come Like that alot.
  7. You able to scan the whole booklet with any wiring or ISO plug connectors We can add it to our resources section then This might help alot of people looking to change it as well.
  8. Good Luck with the Doors, If i remember correctly from facebook post's there is a small screw on the bulkhead of the door frame which needs removing first to get the cover off.
  9. Hi Steve, Not personally got these doors/ though on my estima (before the alphard) we had issues with the contacts in the door switches for the automatic motor. I stripped them down and used some fine sandpaper on the contacts as they just got gunged up with crap. Might be worth doing some tlc to the contacts of the handles.
  10. Its just a bulb and as long as the bulbs allow a certian amount of light and in the right position its a MOT pass.
  11. Thank you. How was wiring it up?
  12. Welcome and very nice
  13. No. I would make my own on photobox or a similar site. would be cheaper. So You are from trowbridge nice close to bristol than most members If i was you i would stick Super unleaded in your tank or convert to LPG for better mileage.
  14. Welcome I've got the same. Reverse camera only comes on in reverse. However the front camera comes on when going slow if the steering wheel controls are pressed Any questions just ask i've got the same model so can point you in the right direction if needed.
  15. petrol. I got 30mpg using super unleaded to the isle of wight but average 18 - 20mpg in town driving
  16. As for the batteries, i'd get a good bluetooth scanner
  17. We have a 3.0l v6 and get around 18 - 30 mpg fantastic vehicles. We had an estima before and this blows it out of the water. Things to consider. Find a good dealer (or import yourself) then get the following works done. Underseal Full service including (cam, water pump and filters) optional (new head unit) though i've stuck the same one as i dont see a point changing it. Otherwise they do not need much looking after and are fantastic vehicles. same engine as the RS300 lexus so mechanics can work on the them easily.
  18. Common faults is the suspension on the campers make sure they have been setup correclty and not leaking. Welcome by the way.
  19. Not bad Ian. It all changes from place to place and driver. But nice hopefully mine will drop next year instead of going up like normal
  20. Found a supplier on ebay that does the bulbs alot cheaper than Ben can do them for. cost me £3 for a pack of 10 blue ones i've swapped all my switches and the display under the radio to these and they work a treat. ON EBAY
  21. Okay so i created a dashcam using my Raspberry PI pretty happy how it turned out. i've attached a link to my git hub with all the scripts etc https://github.com/alextovey/cardashcam The video works but still needs some tweaking Video https://www.youtube.com/mnX0PvUJZSw
  22. also this place seems cheapest for tyres https://www.tyreleader.co.uk
  23. Any have any recommendation of tyres? I'm currently looking at these but they say summer tyres https://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=110&cart_id=gM4RoBZ1GHYPpq0e.110.1016355224&Breite=225&Quer=55&Felge=17&Speed=W&Load=101&kategorie=6&ranzahl=4&tyre_for=&x_tyre_for=&m_s=3&sort_by=Lable_1roll&rsmFahrzeugart=ALL&Label=A-B-68-1&details=Ordern&typ=R-327802
  24. Very nice. I would also do the following: headlight restorer on the front lights and the front camera (if you have one) Then seal them. Our front lights were spot less and bright then about 3 weeks later started to go yellow really quickly.
