  1. every word you said is true...I am sad angry and disappointed at the same time...I was forced by these circumstances to sell my car for half what it's worth....and a funny thing is...the car works fine since 🙂
  2. Thank you very much! I am not sure I will recover from this as per trust. The newer versions are out of my pocket. A normal petrol type I may consider but it has to have a foolproof service history and conditions...All I am seeing these days are desperate posts about head gaskets and sorts...meaning that those advertisements saying that low milage and wonderful and hardly used are just lies...
  3. I know, I just had to send the PDF for them. I knew it would be. But sadly I had to sell it 2 days ago. Way less than what it's worth...broke my heart...The greatest joy it was and the greatest stress and more disappointment than any car in my life...the amount of worry, sadness and stress I experienced with this one is and it was excruciating.
  4. Hi Richard, I sold the car 3 days ago.I couldn't bear with it anymore. I had to practically give up away for like nothing.Broke my heart
  5. this document is something that I got in 2021. The car was imported in 2019 and I bought it from the dealer. Every government-issued paperwork is recognised in the UK. I have not tried or used any of it as I didn't need to register the car as ULEZ. There isn't any government in this whole wide world that would not recognise manufacturer-issued government-approved paperwork. You Guys are really champions of doom days saying and no positive support aren't you? Under what assumption would you say what you said, I have no idea.
  6. I have this certificate: https://japaninspection.org/certificate-of-conformity-coc/
  7. Mine is the latter version, the colour code is Olive green metallic. The main and most important difference probably is that I paid 400 pounds fair and square for the Japanese DVLA, the government department for the COC which is black and white undeniable evidence that the car is euro 4.On top of that the Austrian vehicle licence agency also tested and checked my car and classified it as an EURO 4 vehicle. I was there for a 7 month assignment and you can only drive a foreign car for a month. I had to go through the whole miserable process but I also have documentation from them stating it is an EURO 4 petrol and Hybrid vehicle. This is why I am annoyed out of my head...if anything would be short, if I wouldn't have everything in place I would definitely say that it in not sure and it is not the case, but it is the opposite, I have more registration and more official papers than anybody I know owning these vehicles...
  8. it is but I cannot really have any more tools, or anything for that matter to convince him that it is genuinely an ULEZ exempt vehicle
  9. LW55 CFL, this website says it is ULEZ compliant https://ulez.co.uk/you-dont-need-to-pay-ulez/?vrn=LW55CFL, yet TFL says differently. TFL rules and requirements state that the vehicle needs to be a EURO 4 Petrol or Hybrid , My V5C states it is an Elec-Hybrid, plus I have a COC which TLF wants as such as evidence from the Vehicle Manufacturer and from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Homologation Certificate from the Homologation Department. I have all this, yet this guy still doesn't believe that it is ULEZ.
  10. Can you please confirm, any of you that it is a ULEZ Exempt vehicle? My firm believes it is, but I have a buyer who is hesitant. It really is doing my head in.
  11. I have a COC Certificate from the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Homologation Certificate from the Homologation Department stating that the car is an EURO 4 equivalent vehicle.
  12. Hi Guys, I have a question. My Alphard is a 2005, 2,4 Hybrid. I had a question today that I couldn't answer. Is this model ULEZ COMPLIANT? TOYOTA ,ALPHARD ,2005,CAA-ATH10W Can you please answer me this question with certainty?
  13. P1636 HV ECU Malfunction, plus this P3002,C1213 . Dash lights I don't remember it was 3 months ago,it is still at my local mechanic where we got nothing but the kind of quotes I mentioned...
  14. Hi Guys, I am still struggling with getting my Hybrid back in order. The car is at my mechanic for 5 weeks now. He put most of the car apart and yet not found a problem. We took it to the local hybrid service where after the reading which we have not witnessed they come up with a quote for a price of a new import from Japan. I know one hybrid mechanic who is very good and I learned to trust him over the months of struggle(he lives too far and is way too busy to come and help)he also said that it is ridiculous. A car as mine, with practically no use behind 113000 Km would not be in a state of that quote. What I need is a mobile service guy, who is tried and trusted, firmly on the ground with charges as such for the service to come and take a look at the van. The car is driveable, we drove it over to the "hybrid service " We took it many trial drives after a section was taken apart cleaned and tested it just always shows up after a while with the error codes. Or please recommend somebody or a company who would buy it as it is for a fair price. Or exchange it for a petrol model I am fine with that as well. Please help as it is practically eating me alive. Thank you ever so much!
  15. Thank you! So far we found all connections nice and clear. Very frustrating ...
