A new to buying a Alphard questions...
Hi Pete & Sam, Welcome to the forum. I'll try and answer the questions direct and short. 1) If you import you get pot luck, but buying from a deal at least you can see it first and go through it. 2) 3.0 for a camper/conversion. As i found the 2.4's gutless uphill 3) does not matter which year. I found that the 3.0L on the 2002 - 2005 great it's a Lexus non interferance engine so if the cam belt goes your engine does not. 4) YES that's a must be done over in the country. 5) Toilet, fridge and heating. 6) has it had a new cambelt & when was the last service.

Automatic Transmission Oil Type
That's best practice but make sure when you are filling you DO NOT over fill otherwise bang! there goes your gearbox. underfilling is slightly okay as the way it moves around in there.

My toyota alphard 2007 won't start
Sounds like a flat battery, if you have a multimeter you can turn it on it DC and check the voltage it should be between 12 - 14v

P0135 Powertrain O2 Heater Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
The oxygen sensors are connected directly to the ecu so more than likely it's the sensor itself or a fault in the wire or plug.

Dash cams
I have installed several nextbase dashcams and they are the best to be honest. The cables are long enough and you can jack into the drivers side fuse box for power. then run the cables along the trims to the boot.
