New Alphard Owner
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.

Power door Issues
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.

Hi!
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.

Unit under passenger seat
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.
-
Unit under passenger seat
Not at all Dave. Tips, Get it the under seal done. (matter or urgency) Then full Service, Cambelt, Water Pump. Check out the brake lines as they degrade over time and have your mechanic flush the lines to get rid of air as it's shipped without any oil, fluid etc in it.
