  1. just had a thought, do you mean to leave the engine running? Is that legal in your neck of the woods, it's definitely not here in the UK. Also don't forget the engine starts and stops itself when the battery is fully charged and you can't restart manually when it's in gear.
  2. Don't think that's a good idea!!!!!!!
  3. Hi Brandon, given the mileage and age of the vehicle and that a breakdown would cost you work, I would advise going for a van that could be easily repaired and parts obtained and fitted in Canada. Alphards are a fantastic vehicle but so difficult and expensive to diagnose and repair if faulty. Is the Toyota RAV sold there, would that be big enough? Also, without knowing the market there, 8.5K seems rather high. One other thing to be wary of, as these vehicles are so well finished, beware of clocking. GOOD LUCK! 🚐
  4. Don't want to incite any jinx but my HV battery is 2004 and spot on. Rather expensive to replace, but they can be repaired at reasonable cost. πŸ™ Brilliant vehicle!!!! 🚐
  5. Had no problems yet but am very wary, helps with 4 wheel drive though. Not interested in winter camping.
  6. Hi, mine has lowered uprated springs with 18" alloys, always wary of flooring but have not yet had a problem. Ride is brilliant! Photo attached.
  7. I think the later ones are ULEZ approved, but still have to pay congestion charge.
  8. Hi Nicola, I may be proved wrong but I don't think these are ULEZ compliant, they meet all the conditions but as they are imported Japanese domestic they aren't recognized by the DVLA. Make sure to check before you buy!
  9. Hi, has anyone successfully fitted a rotating front passenger seat in a hybrid? Thanks
  10. I think you are talking about the towing eye cover, the sensors are round and right on the corner of the front valence.
  11. WOW!!!! you could buy another van for that kind of dosh. Hope all goes well. 🚐
  12. Lambda sensor can be extremely delicately cleaned with a very soft paint brush. Also check wiring and plug/socket. Good Luck!
