2002 2.4 Head gasket repair journey
Hi Gamith, my daughter has just come back of holiday in scotland and it was then she relized it was using a significant amount of water, it had always been fine untill that trip. At weekend I am going to give it a leakdown test, pressure test , and a coolant pressure test, hopefully that will find the problem. Kind regards, Bob.

2002 2.4 Head gasket repair journey
Thank you for the reply. Had a look at my daughters 2.4 alphard, I think it is the head gasket blown but can't be certain, it doesn't over heat but does lose water with no obvious leaks , no frothing on oil cap but does appear to be blowing slightly white smoke out of the exhaust but no power loss . A mechanic has told her to try some steel seal in it first , not really expecting great results but it does state guaranteed permanent repair or money back , I will let you know how it performs. Keep up the good work you are doing brilliantly. 👍 Kind regards, Bob.

2002 2.4 Head gasket repair journey
Hi crazymac680 , brilliant job I must say unfortunately I am going to have to tackle the same job on my daughters alpha 2.4l 2006, I have worked on cars alot and feel confident on the job a bit concerned on the amount of siezed bolts you had to deal with on you job. I am just wondering if you have managed to get a workshop manual as I find it difficult to find one mainly for all the torque settings. Kind regards, Bob.

Auto-folding wing mirrors - 2005 facelift model
Hi gamith, I think it must be in a setting or as stated before a faulty switch / wiring, Mine is a 2007 and mirrors fold in and out when I lock or unlock from the remote keyfob.

Replacement front bumper
Hi we unfortunately bumped ours a lot worse then that so we had one priced at toyota it was £1000 colour coded but not fitted. They can be plastic welded and repaired then resprayed I did my own so no idea what a garage would charge.

Removing sliders
Hi just removed all mine I think they are all the same on all models. After removing seats remove the plastic end caps on the runners then remove the carpets the plastic guides along the runners just pull of, at the side of the runners there a some bolts evenly spaced out not sure but are about 8mm I managed to remove them without removing all the sound proofing. at one end on each track there is a small bolt located in the rail that holds the steel end cap on, the runner then can be removed by just sliding it out. Have fun.!!

Broken clips
Hi Joking, We had a similar problem with our front bumper it was the same clips that you are showing in the photo, we ordered ours from the toyota main dealer took about a weak to arrive and cost appropriately £70 for the pair . Just hope your tags are still OK on the actual bumper.

Stripped interior
Hi Hi Beijing Ballie, sorry I don't have any more photos and unfortunately it was quite some time ago when I stripped out the head liner and didn't take much notice of where the ducting came down.

Spare Wheel Storage
Hi, I think after an lpg conversion most people go with the can repair options, i have never had a problem with them and I have used them a few times. After your camper conversion you will probably need as much storage space as possible and a spare wheel Evan a space saver takes a lot of room up.
