Headlamp levelling device
Hi, I have a 2004 Alphard 2.4ltr. I took it to the MOT centre in Northern Ireland and was told the headlamp levelling device is missing - failed! Does anyone know where I can get such a device and where is it fitted? No MOT centre in England has ever picked up on it, so didn't even know if it is supposed to have one. Also require headlamp washers for both sides. Ant ideas would be much appreciated.

240 volt mains hookup
Looking to put in a mains hookup into ny 2004 Alphard. Has anyone attempted this? If so where did you place the socket for the hookup. I took a peek under the trimm on the driver side rear, but that seems full with ducts for heating, cables etc. I did notice on a video that a socket had been placed close to the petrol cap. Any Ideas?

Leisure battery, 240V, Tyres etc..
You wrote: "I was planning to put a leisure battery in, a friend has put one under the passenger seat. Any other suggestions?" I built a box which I placed behind rear seats. The inverter sits underneath the seat. No idea where the original japanese inverter sits, but even if you could replace the original inverter, the cables for 100v might also need to be exchanged for the 220v. My inverter has two three pin plugs as outlets, so I just use an extension lead for easier access, Thats why I didn't place my inverter in the engine room, or underneath somewhere.

Running Water
My wife found the bottle of water. The battery operated faucet fits snugly on top. The faucet is rechargable over usb cable. The bottle is let into the top on a stand so that is is stable.

Roof video screen
Hi, I have recently brought an 2004 Alphard V5. I have in the upper glove compartment a Toyota DVD player. Is this player supposed to be connected to the roof drop down screen, and if so, How do I turn the screen on? Is there supposed to be a remote control for the unit? I am putting a replacement head unit in as the one that came with the car did not have navigation. I notice that the head cables have a key and key2 wires. Are these meant to be for the steering wheel controls? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
