I have found the screws which fit the Alphard 02-08. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00ABOWATO?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image The ones that fit mine were M6 12mm which were perfect for the aftermarket rack I had. You may need longer ones if your rack mount (the part which is screwed into the roof) is wider than 4mm. I hope this is of some help to others.

The bolts will be the same diameter on all Alphards, they screw in to the factory made holes. The roof rack I have is second-hand and has no screws with it. I guess I'll just got to Halfords and ask them to try a few bolts. I'll post the size so that other owners don't have to go through this.

No help here? I've the same issue.

Hi, it’s ok, I’ve just realised that it is the vehicle alarm icon which is flashing! it’s fun trying to read Japanese manuals. 😀

Hi all. I have a late 2007 Alphard and it has a Flashing Red Warning Light - Car with a spanner icon. I am assuming that it is the service reminder light. I would like to know how to turn it off? Does anyone know how to do it? I have read a couple of different methods but neither have worked so far. Help!

Any help for Patrick?

Thanks. I presume that these are used parts. I’m shocked that there are no OEM headlights for the Alphard anywhere! I can buy OEM headlights for cars much older than 2008. They must exist in Japan surely? I can find rear LED aftermarket lights for the Alphard but just no fronts unless used. It is baffling.

I am about to put a deposit down on a 2008 Alphard but I am getting cold feet. I have tried to find a new front right headlamp as a test to gauge availability of parts in the UK and can only find USED parts and they are eye watering in price. Is this the reality of buying an Alphard? If so I will give it a miss, but I am hoping there are knowledgeable owners out there that may be able to point me in the right direction. Does anyone out there have a place they know of who can source new lamps for example? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! D.

Hi Terry, I’ve just put a deposit down on an ‘08 Alphard and was beginning to regret the decision due to the roof rack issues with transporting Kayaks. To make things more complicated I have a pop up roof. However I think your post may just save a cancelled sale. Where did you source those D rings? They are the answer to my prayers! If they are custom made could you let me know who made them for you please? I have a pop up top so I think I can’t fix rails or a rack as the bars either need a standard roof or the clearance of rails won’t go over the height of the custom roof, but these rings combined with inflatable pads will make things work. I’m an avid paddler so I’m desperate to find a solution. Thanks for any information and this is my first post here. Cheers. 👍👍
