Thanks for that I'll get on it.

Trying to order front brake discs and pads for my 07 ANH 10 2.4 Alphard. All the sites I've looked at have 2 sizes. Anyone know what size I would need.

Hi. I had problems with front heating. Turned out to be flap that opens the heater door. It's called an actuator. It's under dashboard. A pain to get to but I managed with some swearing and grazed knuckles. There's a thread on here. Might be worth a look.

Cheers guys. Checked oil filler cap and dipstick. They are ok. Topped up coolant again tonight. Will check again tomorrow. Can't see anything on drive underneath. Tee pieces a possibility. Can only think the leak is happening when engine running and coolant is being pumped round the system. Will run it tomorrow and check again. Next step probably the leak detection dye. Thanks

Noticed my fan was coming on nearly all the time the other day, then temp guage went up and down. Checked radiator when I got home . Put loads of pink coolant in. Can't see in expansion tank properly but don't think there's much in there. Was ok next day then did same again day after. Can't see any signs of leaking under vehicle. Live in Fleetwood area don't know who to take it to round here. Most garages not keen on imports.

The Alphard ones (8590)are like gold dust . Couldn't find one anywhere. Was quoted £ 279 with delivery around end of November. Decided to get the Avensis one off e bay and swap the worn part over. It was from an 06 Avensis cost me 20 quid.This is it

Hi Waseem. If you go to the technical guides section on the forum,Goldstar has put a video link on detailing how to repair the actuator. Really helpful I couldn't have done it without seeing that first.

Car was only imported in March. Obviously colder in Japan than I thought lol

Got round to doing mine today. Took 4 hours. Not as supple as I used to be. The disc in Alphard actuator was worn out. Got avensis actuator and swapped them over . Nice and warm now. Big thanks to Gold star for video he posted. Will put pic of old disc on here.

Did mine today. Took 4 hours . Couldn't have done it without the help of this video. Will try to put pic of disc I took out of

Thanks Gruff when I've got some time I'll try that

Took my Alphard in to my usual repair shop with same problem. They tried all usual stuff and came to same conclusion. Heater flap actuator. They are struggling to find a replacement part. Second hand ones on internet seem to be different part number from the one on here. Anyone know of a dependable part supplier?
