Any ideas please? I was driving when suddenly engine stopped and all lights came on on dash. Managed to coast to roadside. Head unit screen flashed and lights all died on dash as if power loss. after 20 minutes I put key in and it restarted! the car has had a differential replaced a few months ago new bushes and brakes just a few days ago! have not tried driving again yet as concerned Sam may happen in a dangerous location! any suggestions what might be the problem? Computer control unit??

Sorted 😀thanks

Ok thanks

So that explains why the Toyota listed it as a standard battery and why that’s what it came with!! Thanks so much! Brilliant news. J

Thank you. having done some research I see that for a hybrid with stop start and regenerative braking I may need a different sort compared to the standard wet lead acid EB451 exide that I had? Perhaps that’s why this one hasn’t lasted so long? They mention EFB and AGM batteries. Thank you for the link I will check it out. J

Thanks that is most helpful and much appreciated. J

Hello my starter battery has failed! It currently has an exide excell EB451 45A 12v one but when I look to get a replacement on line I keep being told it does not fit my vehicle! My car recently had a gear box replaced which left me with serious concerns about the ethics and integrity of the garage that carried out the work!!!!! So I am not sure if this was my original battery. please can someone tell me what the correct battery should be? Thanks

Sorry didn’t think it had sent

Many thanks again Picasso, much appreciate your help. James

Hello please does anyone know the part number and where I can source a front brake pad fitting kit for my 54 plate Toyota Alphard 2.4 4WD hybrid please

Please does anyone have a link to source front and rear brake pads and fitting kits for my 54 plate 4WD 2.4 hybrid Alphard? have looked on eBay but not sure which are good ones or the right fitting kits! Thanks

Thank you Jess. That’s very helpful.

Looking up the parts it ask me if my hybrid is 96KW or 117KW. I have looked through my papers but can’t find out which it is. How can I find out the model please

thank you again really appreciate your help.

Yes thank you but I have a similar problem at the front. I think this might be a picture from the front? is there a complete kit for all the bushes as I suspect all may be equally ‘unwell’! thanks again.

Are there similar for the front and beneath on the rear axle?

Thank you Picasso that is very helpful and much appreciated. James

Hello my 54 plate 2.4 alphard hybrid has worn axle bushes and ? Bearings (the rubber mounts the axle sits on)?? Sorry but not sure of the correct term but they are all the rubber left oking pieces! please can somebody tell me the proper names and part numbers for my vehicle and if you have any suggestions where to source them it would be appreciated. Thanks. is it a big job to replace them and any ideas of likely costs please? thanks everyone

Hello we had a similar problem a couple of years ago. I found that if I disconnected the battery and waited 15 minutes before reconnecting it would restart and be fine. However the problem would recur, at first very intermittently but then increasingly until it would recur after 10 miles or so. it turned out to be a pump cooling the electrical controls (sorry I don’t know the proper term) which fortunately got identified by my garage before I fried the electrical control system. They replaced the pump and all was well thereafter (until my differential broke a couple of weeks ago)!!

Thank you for all of your suggestions. sorry to hear of your issues Patricia but thanks for sharing your experience as it helps gauge what financial tag might be on the horizon if I were to consider repair!

Thanks Rojie that’s helpful. I spoke to a specialist automatic gearbox shop but they wouldn’t touch it being and import and ‘rare’ and hybrid! Getting trailered back from garage but looks like it will be up for sale for parts / scrap which is a shame as was a great car! I asked if they would do a complete gearbox change if I could source one but they declined as said may need reprogramming afterwards and they didn’t have the equipment to do that!!

Hello everyone I have a 54 plate 2.4 hybrid automatic Alphard that broke down and ended up being recovered to my local garage in Colchester Essex! unfortunately they are unable to fix it as they say the noise is coming from the differential and the gear box will need stripping down. They do not do it and I have been unable to find a workshop that does this work. The local automatic gear box specialist said they do not do diffs. 1. Does anyone know of a place near Colchester that might do this work? 2. has anyone had experience of this problem and is it going to be worth fixing? I love the car and it has been a good runner and is in good condition (or rather was until now)! thanks for any help and suggestions.

Hello I’m not sure if ULEZ is important to you? I have a 54 plate 2.4 hybrid Alphard which isn’t compliant!

Thanks. I had a look on line and found some but wasn’t sure if they would be the same as the other ones hence seeing if there was a specific part number. Thanks again for replying
