    ABS/brakes diagnostic and repair needed

    in Recommend a Dealer / Garage / Importer

    Posted

    I purchased my 2007, 3.0 Alphard MZGEd a year ago.  No issues until a visit to the car wash where guys used a pressure washer. When asked to move the car forward it stuck in 'park' and I couldn't move out of without using the override button (for the first time ever). The VSC, TRC off, ABS lights came on. No engine warning light. I found out soon after that the brake lights not coming on.  I live in mid Wales and quickly found out how hard it is to find a garage that would touch Japanese imports.  I eventually found a garage that diagnosed the ABS module needed to be repaired/replaced.  As they were unable to source one we managed to get a second hand unit - imported from Japan via Nippon Autospares. The garage installed this unit but it has not resolved the problem. Our Alphard is sitting at the garage 100 miles away, out of MOT now, and the garage is offering no way forward.
    It is so frustrating.  PLEASE, PLEASE can anyone help with information on where to go next. I have the feeling the answer is simple but at a loss that no-one that we have been to so far can remedy it. I live in mid Wales, but the car is in South Wales. Has anyone experienced similar issue.  I would be grateful for advice/recommendations in the hope of finding a solution asap.  I'm prepared to move the car to anywhere in the U.K.🙏🙏
