Looking for the runner clips for the seats.
I cant find the part number for the screws on the caps. I have all the caps just not the screws. Toyota didn't know what I was talking about.

E10 fuel upgrades
Yeah I agree. But i'd rather air on the side of caution rather than an expensive bill for redoing the piston and seals.

Looking for the runner clips for the seats.
Sure, Pending on price that it Toyota wanted £15 per clip. They look like a flat head screw in grey. On the seat rails you have the end cap's which have a screw in the middle to hold them down in the boot and behind the middle row seats.

E10 fuel upgrades
So this new fuel roll out on the 2002 - 2008 3L models will actually burn your piston rings and cause clogs. This came from a mechanic who actually contacted Toyota Japan and asked them directly. The only option for us is to use super unleaded.

List of garages who can service and maintain Alphard and Alphard Hybrid
Any Garage can, its standard parts and oil if you have a 3L then thats the same engine that is in a lexus rx300.

E10 fuel
Yes, it will be fine with the 2003 and up either 2.4 or 3L engines you will have lower fuel economy but so will we all.

1. tyre tread 2. Vaccum clips on the air filter box 3. connectors on the battery and the mount it's sat on 4. make sure it's been underselaed 5. If a new radio is installed make sure it's been soldered in and not scotch locked 6. check gear box fluid is red not black or brown 7. check to make sure its had all it's recall work done such as brake master servo and airbags

Petrol cap hiss ?
Yes thats normal, as the Petrol tank goes under pressure and creates a vacuum when its being used because of the fuel pump and injectors. The hiss is letting the pressure out. So it's a good sign if there was no hiss every time that would mean you have a leak in the fuel system and air is getting in loosing pressure.

110V outlet inside a 350G ANH20 on 350G
check it with a multimeter it will soon tell if it is AC or DC

Android car radio upgrade?
unfortunately not. Unless you can speak to a tech minded person on the sales floor so to speak there will be no way of telling unless it actually states it in the description.
-
Cruise control
Unfortunatly not. It would require the ECU to be re flashed on the 2006, from 2002 - 2004 they used the same ecu then changed it for the 2005-2008 models.
-
Mirror Removal
Yes, it's a nightmare. You will need to get the body work redone and holes filled.
-
Sat nav installation
Xtrons does one that fits nicely. If you remove the original head unit you will loose lane assist, front and rear cameras and will need new ones to get them working again.
