Thanks a lot Picasso, I am rubbing my eyes in disbelief. I will show this to local wheel alignment guys and see if they like it!! Thank you again. I will report back

If we install dash cam at rear window, as its tinted, I think the chances it will record anything well in night time is minimal? Anyone else come across this issue? Any camera that can be used behind tinted glasses and perform well? Or can the safety dash cam be installed outside the Alphard / vellfire - tucked underneath the aero spoilers?

I use to always use shell V power in one Honda, and tried E10, lead to check engine light for cat. It was supposed to be ok as per honda uk website but - Being compatible and being safe / best are not same I had done mpg calculations in past on v-power and normal fuel and it was different, engine exhaust smelled worse with E10 and slight shake in engine in one Volvo disappeared with with use of V-power Using shell v-power once couple of months might help with the detergents etc clean up the engine/system? If not driving 5 figure miles, the difference of cost might be not worth it. I say E5 might be better option - I would be happy to play safe.

before anyone says, there might be an option to do the wheel alignment old school way manually, but the question is how to do it properly with settings - fire and forget - and not having to look for someone willing to do it manually and getting only a good enough job / not so precise being manual

is it something that can be secured from Japan itself? online download? I was shocked that even Toyota Dealer that I called refused to deal with the wheel alignment of Alphards Vellfires. I am sure this can be solved as a community and there has to be self help / fix for all times. Imagine you are out and about and some issue strikes and are marooned without the 'seetings' to get back on road. I hope with this thread we manage to draw a line under this question for all.

whoever I ask for wheel alignment / tracking, are saying no to JDM imports as they don't have the settings for it. Will it not make sense we have the settings for wheel alignment handy and we all keep it with us when needed? I might be talking rubbish as it might depend on machine, some other configs, exact model year, might have IP implications or the settings might be a massive unwieldly file that is not easy to grab or carry? Anyone know how to deal with this

Many thanks, I’ve also pmed you. I’m trying to get members who are willing to also chat in other more interactive ways.

That’s fantastic👍👏 can you please share the YouTube video link. I know someone who might do it for me as he is much more handy many thanks for your post, really helpful

Well done! Quite an adventure It’s getting colder so I might have to postpone mine to next summer

Really neat👍

amazing 👏 How many litres did it take for two coats? Did you cover tyres brake pipes or anything in particular to not get coat on it? Mot get touchy about few things not being visible that’s why I was considering finding some mot guy who had junior handy/ assistant staff who can do it under tire mot guys guidance

Roughly how much, I’ll ask my local. For tracking/wheel alignment they had flat fee of 99

Happy to chip in if there was collective effort to secure one and you try to make it work! My interest is in second Gen Vellfire specifically, picture above looks like mine

It’s MEGATHREAD GARAGE DIRECTORY I’ve posted the above post there

Was there any further updates on your in-depth research into display panel language change?
